Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The way by which the configuration of the optically active hydrocarbon, 3 methyl hexane obtained from the acid, 4 methylhexanoic acid of known configuration can be deduced is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as the chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called asymmetric or stereogenic centers. A chiral molecule is an optically active molecule. It rotates the plane of a plane polarized light.

For a particular hypothetical reaction, A+B →2C, the value of AG° is -125 kJ/mol. What is the value of AG for this reaction at 35°C when [A] = 0.10 M, [B] = 0.05 M, and [C] = 2.0 × 10¹ M?
In an experiment, 74.3 g of metallic copper was heated to 100.0°C and then quickly dropped into 200.0 mL of water in a calorimeter. The heat capacity of the calorimeter with the water was 875 J/°C. The initial temperature of the calorimeter was 27.5°C, and the final temperature after addition of the metal was 29.8°C. What is the value of the molar heat capacity of copper?
The Haber-Bosch process permits the direct conversion of molecular nitrogen to ammonia, which can be used in large-scale fertilizer production. Given the balanced Haber-Bosch reaction and using the bond energies in the table below, estimate the enthalpy change associated with the reaction.
