Chapter 15, Problem 15.36P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of the alkyl bromide of molecular formula C4H9Br that contains one chiral center should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Chirality is the presence of an asymmetric carbon center in a molecule and a molecule which contains a chiral center cannot superimpose on its mirror image.

The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics gives solubilities of the following compounds in grams per 100 mL of water. Because these compounds are only slightly soluble, assume that the volume does not change on dissolution and calculate the solubility product for each. (a) BaSeO4, 0.0118 g/100 mL
Can I please get help with answering this?
These are in the wrong boxes.  Why does the one on the left have a lower molar mass than the one on the right?
