Answer:

The correct option is: B. Carbon 5 only

Explanation:

Carvone is a naturally-occurring monoterpenoid consisting of a six-membered cyclic ring. The carbon-5 of this cyclic ring of Carvone is chiral, due to which Carvone exhibits enantiomerism.

The two enantiomeric forms of Carvone are: R-(–)-carvone, or L-carvone, and S-(+)-carvone, or D-carvone.

These two enantiomeric forms differ in the orientation of the substituents on the chiral carbon-5.

Therefore, the correct option is B. Carbon 5 only.

Consider the following balanced redox reaction: 2CrO2-(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 6ClO-(aq) LaTeX: \longrightarrow⟶ 2CrO42-(aq) + 3Cl2(g) +

frutty [35]

Answer:

1. Chromium

2. Chlorine.

3. Chlorine.

4. Chromium.

5. 12 electrons.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the given reaction with the appropriate oxidation states turns out:

$2(Cr^{+3}O^{-2}_2)^-(aq) + 2H_2O(l) + 6(Cl^{+1}O^{-2})^-(aq)\longrightarrow 2(Cr^{+6}O^{-2}_4)^{2-}(aq) + 3Cl^0_2(g) + 4OH^-(aq)$

In such a way, the oxidation half-reaction is written for chromium as the reducing agent so it is oxidized from +3 to +6, nonetheless, since there are two chromiums undergoing such change, 6 electrons are being transferred as shown below:

$2(Cr^{+3}O^{-2}_2)^-(aq) \longrightarrow 2(Cr^{+6}O^{-2}_4)^{2-}(aq)+6e^-$

On the other hand, chlorine's reduction half-reaction as the oxidizing agent result from the transfer of 6 electrons as well from +1 to 0, nonetheless, there are 6 chlorines undergoing such change:

$6(Cl^{+1}O^{-2})^-+6e^-\longrightarrow 3Cl^0_2(g)$

Therefore, there are 12 electrons that are being transferred, 6 for chromium and 6 for chlorine.

Best regards.

In 200 g of a concentrated solution of 70.4 wt% nitric acid (r = 1.41 g/mL, FW(HNO3) = 63.01 g/mol), how many grams of water are

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

59.2 grams

Explanation:

We are given that 70.4% of the weight of the total 200 g of the concentration is made up of nitric acid, the remaining information is not required to solve the problem. Since water and nitric acid are the only components of the solution, the total weight of water is given by:

$W = 200*(1-0.704)\\W=59.2\ g$

There are 59.2 grams of water in this solution.

What mass of powdered drink mix is needed to make a 0.5 M solution of 100 mL?

Maru [420]

Answer:

There is 17,114825 g of powdered drink mix needed

Explanation:

Step 1 : Calculate moles

As given, the concentration of the drink is 0.5 M, this means 0.5 mol / L

Since the volume is 100mL, we have to convert the concentration,

⇒0.5 / 1 = x /0.1 ⇒ 0.5* 0.1 = x = 0.05 M

This means there is 0.05 mol per 100mL

Step 2 : calculate mass of the powdered drink

here we use the formula n (mole) = m(mass) / M (Molar mass)

⇒ since powdered drink mix is usually made of sucrose (C12H22O11) and has a molar mass of 342.2965 g/mol.

0.05 mol = mass / 342.2965 g/mol

To find the mass, we isolate it ⇒0.05 mol * 342.2965 g/mol = 17,114825g

There is 17,114825 g of powdered drink mix needed

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction where a chemical bond will break in order to form a new bond due to the formation of a new substance.

For example, $2Na + Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2NaCl$

Here, NaCl is the new substance that is formed. A chemical reaction will always bring change in chemical composition of a substance.

The production of hydrogen gas from water, the tarnishing of a copper penny, charging a cellular phone and burning a plastic water bottle are all chemical reactions.

Whereas a reaction where no change in chemical composition of a substance takes place is known as a physical reaction.

For example, chopping a log into sawdust will change the shape but it will not bring any change in chemical composition of the substance.

Thus, we can conclude that in the following list, only chopping a log into sawdust is not an example of a chemical reaction.
