Is caffeine optically active

Chemistry
1 answer:
timofeeve [1]2 years ago
7 0
Caffeine is not optically active because it is a planar heterocycle. When you say optically active, it means that compounds have molecules which are chiral. Chirality is the property of molecules as a result of its structure. And when you say planar heterocycle, molecules are flat and the ring should contain atoms located in a similar plane.

How much water must be added to 36.0 g of srcl2 to produce a solution that is 35.0 wt% srcl2? how much water must be added to 36
larisa86 [58]
To solve this problem we will use the following equation:

w = (m of solute) / (m of solution)

w - percentage 

It is necessary to mention here that mass of solution is a sum of the mass of solute and mass of water.

<span>w = mass CaCl2/(mass of water + mass of CaCl2)
</span>
mass of water = x 

0.35 = 36 / (x + 36)

0.35 × (x + 36) = 36

0.35x + 12.6 = 36

0.35x = 23.4

x = 66.86 g of water is necessary

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Honey is an homogeneous mixture

Salsa is an heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

Honey is a sweet uniformly colored liquid that can be of a dark variety or of clear golden color. Honey is made in nature by bees from flower nectar and is used as a food additive or sweetener

Honey is a homogeneous mixture because the concentration of the components of honey are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. Every portion has the same concentration of components

Salsa is a sauce made by mixing chopped tomatoes, onions, chilies, lime juice and seasoning and therefore consists of both solid and liquid components mixed in varying proportion such that part will have continuous  that comes in between different types of solid and no two parts have exactly the same composition

Therefore, salsa is an heterogenous liquid.

Write the Lewis structure for ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, then answer the following questions:
hodyreva [135]

Answer :

(1) The number of valence electrons present in the compound is, 20

(2) The number of bonded electrons present in the compound is, 16

(3) The number of lone pair electrons present in the compound is, 4

(4) The number of single bonds present in the compound is, 8

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, CH_3CH_2OH

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3CH_2OH = 2(4) + 6(1) + 6 = 20

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 16 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons or lone pair of electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure of CH_3CH_2OH is shown below.

A certain radioactive atom has 90 protons and 142 neutrons. If this atom undergoes alpha decay, what is the mass number of the d
Hatshy [7]

Answer: the mass number of the daugther atom is 232,


Explanation:


1) Alpha (α) decay is a nuclear reaction in which a nucleus (parent's nucleus) emits an alpha (α) particle and leads to a different atom (daughter atom).


2) The alpha (α) particle is a nucleus of helium atom, i,e, a nucleus with two protons and two neutrons. The symbol used for the α particles is <em>⁴₂He</em>, where the superscript 4 indicates the mass number (2 protons + 2 neutrons = mass number 4), and the subscript 2 indicates the atomic number (number of protons).


3) Then, to determine the mass number of the daughter atom you just need to do a mass number balance:


mass number of the parent atom = mass number of the daugther atom + mass number of the α particle.


The mass number of the radioactive (parent) atom is 90 protons + 142 neutrons = 232.


∴ 232 = x + 4 ⇒ x = 232 - 4 = 228 ← answer.


The full equation may help you to have a wider vision of the problem:


²³²₉₀ X → ⁴₂ He + ²²⁸₈₈ Y

Note this:

  • 232 = 4 + 228 (this is a mass number balance)
  • 90 = 2 + 88 (this is an atomic number balance)
  • X is the parent atom, and Y is the daughter atom
  • You can use a periodic table to determine the identity of the unknown atoms (using the atomic numbers).
