What is absolute configuration?

Absolute configuration can be described as to the spatial arrangement of atoms within a chiral molecular entity. Absolute configuration in organic molecules, where carbon is bonded to four different substituents.

The absolute configuration has used a set of rules to describe the relative positions around the chiral center atom. The most common labeling method is the descriptors R or S where R and S refer to Rectus and Sinister.

The group with the highest atomic number will get the highest priority and the group with the lowest atomic number substituents will get the lowest priority. Therefore, the order of priority is -CH₂Br > -CH₂OH > -CH₂NH₂ > -CH₃.

Therefore, the order of priority for the second part is -F > -CHO > -CH₂OH > -CH₃.

Calculate the pH of a pyridine solution that has a concentration of 9.2 M. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

10.10

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the basic dissociation reaction for pyridine

C₅H₅N(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ C₅H₅NH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)      Kb = 1.9 × 10⁻⁹

Step 2: Calculate [OH⁻]

For a weak base, we will use the following expression.

[OH⁻] = √(Cb × Kb) = √(9.2 × 1.9 × 10⁻⁹) = 1.3 × 10⁻⁴ M

Step 3: Calculate pOH

We will use the definition of pOH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 1.3 × 10⁻⁴ = 3.9

Step 4: Calculate pH

We will use the following expression.

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 3.9 = 10.10

Answers

Answer:

Close to the calculated endpoint of a titration - Partially open

At the beginning of a titration - Completely open

Filling the buret with titrant - Completely closed

Conditioning the buret with the titrant - Completely closed

Explanation:

'Titration' is depicted as the process under which the concentration of some substances in a solution is determined by adding measured amounts of some other substance until a rection is displayed to be complete.

As per the question, the stopcock would remain completely open when the process of titration starts. After the buret is successfully placed, the titrant is carefully put through the buret in the stopcock which is entirely closed. Thereafter, when the titrant and the buret are conditioned, the stopcock must remain closed for correct results. Then, when the process is near the estimated end-point and the solution begins to turn its color, the stopcock would be slightly open before the reading of the endpoint for adding the drops of titrant for final observation.

Answers

Answer:

C2H3O3

Explanation:

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of moles of atoms that you can find in a molecule.

In combustion analysis all Carbon reacts producing CO2 and all hydrogen reacts producing H2O. With the differences in masses we can find the mass of oxygen and their moles:

Moles CO2 = Moles C:

14.08g * (1mol/44.01g) = 0.3199 moles C * (12.01g/mol) = 3.8423g C

Moles H2O:

4.32g H2O * (1mol/18.01g) = 0.2399 moles H2O * (2mol H / 1molH2O) = 0.4797moles H = 0.4797g H

Mass O:

12.01g = Mass O + 3.8423g C + 0.4797g H

Mass O = 7.688g O

Moles O:

7.688g O * (1mol/16g) = 0.48 moles O

The ratio of atoms (Dividing in the moles of C that are the lower number of moles):

O: 0.48moles O / 0.3199 moles C = 1.50

C: 0.3199 moles C / 0.3199 moles C = 1

H: 0.4797 moles H / 0.3199 moles C = 1.50

As empirical formula requires whole numbers:

O: 1.50* 2 = 3

C: 1*2 = 2

H: 1.50*2 = 3

The empirical formula is:

C2H3O3

I have 50.00 mL of 0.100 M ethyl amine (C2H5NH2). I gradually add a solution of 0.025 M nitric acid (HNO3) to the ethyl amine solution.

Required:
What is the pH after the addition of a total of 201 mL of the nitric acid?

Answers

Answer:

4.00 is the pH of the mixture

Explanation:

The ethyl amine reacts with HNO3 as follows:

C2H5NH2 + HNO3 → C2H5NH3⁺ + NO3⁻

To solve this question we need to find the moles of ethyl amine and the moles of HNO3:

Moles C2H5NH2:

0.0500L * (0.100mol/L) = 0.00500 moles ethyl amine

Moles HNO3:

0.201L * (0.025mol/L) = 0.005025 moles HNO3

That means HNO3 is in excess. The moles in excess are:

0.005025 moles HNO3 - 0.00500 moles ethyl amine =

2.5x10⁻⁵ moles HNO₃

In 50 + 201mL = 251mL = 0.251L:

2.5x10⁻⁵ moles HNO₃ / 0.251L = 9.96x10⁻⁵M = [H+]

As pH = -log [H+]

pH = -log 9.96x10⁻⁵M

pH = 4.00 is the pH of the mixture

If you ran the reaction for this experiment and began with 65.0 mmol of isopentyl alcohol, how many grams of isopentyl acetate could you theoretically produce assuming only a 77.0% attainable yield

Answers

Answer:

6.52g = Actual yield (g)

Explanation:

The yield of a reaction is:

Percent yield = Actual yield (g) / Theoretical Yield (g) * 100

As 1 mol of isopentyl alcohol produce 1 mol of isopentyl acetate (Theoretical Yield), the theroretical yield of isopentyl acetate is 65.0mmol = 0.0650mol. To solve this question we need to convert the moles of isopentyl acetate to mass using its molar mass (130.19g/mol).

With the equation of percent yield we can find the mass obtained as follows:

Theoretical yield:

0.0650mol * (130.19g/mol) = 8.46g of isopentyl alcohol

Mass produced:

77 = Actual yield (g) / 8.462g * 100

6.52g = Actual yield (g)

The mass of isopentyl acetate that can be produced is 6.52 g

Balanced equation

See attached photo

From the balanced equation,

1 mole of isopentyl alcohol reacted to produce 1 mole of isopentyl acetate.

Therefore,

65 mmole (i.e 0.065 mole) of isopentyl alcohol will also react to produce 0.065 mole of isopentyl acetate.

How to determine the actual yield (in mole) Percentage yield = 77%Theoretical yield = 0.065 mole Actual yield =?

Actual yield = percent × theoretical

Actual yield = 77% × 0.065

Actual yield = 0.05005 mole

How to determine the mass Mole of isopentyl acetate = 0.05005 mole Molar mass of isopentyl acetate = 130.19 g/molMass of isopentyl acetate =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of isopentyl acetate = 0.05005 × 130.19

It is exothermic because the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released when the products are formed.

Answers

Answer:

It is endothermic because the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy released when the products are formed

Explanation:

A reaction may be endothermic or exothermic. In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed by the process while in an exothermic process energy is given out by the process.

Recall that the enthalpy change of a reaction = enthalpy of products - enthalpy of reactants

Hence, where the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy released when the products are formed, the reaction is endothermic.

For an endothermic reaction, the enthalpy change of the reaction is positive.

In this case, enthalpy of reaction = 920 - (-750) = 1670 kJ/mol

A. 3.59 L
B. 2.39 L
C. 5.87 L
D. 5.38 L

Answers

Answer:

5.38 L

Option D.

Explanation:

2 NaOH(s) + 2 Al(s) + 6 H₂O(l)   →  2 NaAl(OH)₄(s)  + 3 H₂(g)

We convert mass of Al to moles:

4.32 g . 1 mol /26.98g = 0.160 moles

As NaOH is in excess, aluminum is the limiting reactant.

We see stoichiometry, were ratio is 2:3.

2 moles of Al can produce 3 moles of hydrogen

Our 0.160 moles may  produce (0.160 . 3)/2 = 0.240 moles of H₂.

We know that 1 mol of any gas at STP conditions is contained in 22.4L

So let's make the conversion factor:

0.240 mol . 22.4L / 1mol = 5.38 L

Answers

Answer:

6 mins

Explanation:

The time taken for Ar to effuse can be obtained as follow:

Time for Br₂ (t₁) = 12 mins

Molar mass of Br₂ (M₁) = 2 × 80 = 160 g/mol

Molar mass of Ar (M₂) = 40 g/mol

Time for Ar (t₂) =?

t₂/t₁= √(M₂/M₁)

t₂ / 12 = √(40/160)

Cross multiply

t₂ = 12 × √(40/160)

t₂ = 12 × 0.5

t₂ = 6 mins

Therefore, it will take 6 mins for the same amount of Ar to effused out.

Explanation:

Given: [tex]n_{1}[/tex] = 0.650 mol,     [tex]P_{1}[/tex] = 730 mm Hg (1 mm Hg = 0.00131579 atm) = 0.96 atm

Formula used is as follows.

[tex]\frac{P_{1}}{n_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{n_{2}}[/tex]

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]\frac{P_{1}}{n_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{n_{2}}\\\frac{0.96 atm}{0.650 mol} = \frac{1.15 atm}{n_{2}}\\n_{2} = 0.779 mol[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that there are 0.779 moles of gas were added to the bottle.

A sealed container was filled with 0.300mol H2(g), 0.400mol I2(g), and 0.200mol HI(g) at 870K and total pressure 1.00bar. Calculate the amounts of the components in the mixture at equilibrium given that K.= 70 for the reaction H2(g)+I2(g) --> 2HI(g).

Answers

Answer:

[HI] = 0.704mol

[H2] = 0.048mol

[I2] = 0.148mol

Explanation:

Based on the equilibrium:

H2(g)+I2(g) --> 2HI(g)

The equilibrium constant, K, is defined as:

K = 70 = [HI]² / [H2] [I2]

Where [] could be taken as the moles in equilibrium of each reactant

To know the direction of the equilibrium we need to find Q with the initial moles of each species:

Q = [0.200mol]² / [0.300mol] [0.400mol]

Q = 0.333

As Q < K, the reaction will shift to the right producing more HI. The equilibrium moles are:

[HI] = 0.200mol + 2X

[H2] = 0.300mol - X

[I2] = 0.400mol - X

Replacing in K:

70 = [0.200 + 2X ]² / [0.300 - X] [0.400 - X]

70 = 0.04 + 0.8 X + 4 X² / 0.12 - 0.7 X + X²

8.4 - 49 X + 70 X² = 0.04 + 0.8 X + 4 X²

8.36 - 49.8X + 66X² = 0

Solving for X:

X = 0.252 moles. Right solution

X = 0.502 moles. False solution. Produce negative moles.

Replacing:

[HI] = 0.200mol + 2*0.252 mol

[H2] = 0.300mol - 0.252 mol

[I2] = 0.400mol - 0.252 mol

[HI] = 0.704mol

[H2] = 0.048mol

[I2] = 0.148mol
