Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given Fischer projection needs to be represented using wedges and dashed wedges.

Concept introduction:

For a molecule with chiral center, the Fischer projection formula is written to describe the stereo arrangement of atoms in two dimensions. For large molecules with more than 1 stereocenters are also represent their stereochemistry using the Fischer Projection. The carbon chain of the molecule containing the chiral carbon center is represented as vertical line with chiral carbon at the center. Two other groups are then horizontally arranged around the chiral carbon atom.

The wedge and dashed bonds are used to represent the 3D structure of the molecule.

The velocity distribution function of gas moleculesa) is used to measure their velocity, since the small size of gas molecules means that it cannot be measured in any other wayb) is only used to describe the velocity of particles if their density is very high.c) describes the probability that a gas particle has a velocity in a given interval of velocities
Explain why in the representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a particular gas, the maximum occurs for vi = 0 m/s.
Explain why the representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a particular gas becomes flatter as the temperature increases.
