The optical activity of the given form of tartaric acid is to be explained and the structure of its optically active form is to be drawn. Concept introduction: Optically active compounds are those consist of a chiral centre and rotate a plane of polarized light in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction. Tartaric acid is an α -hydroxy- carboxylic acid having a structural formula ( HO 2 CCH ( OH ) CH ( OH ) CO 2 H ) . It also exists in meso form. Meso compounds are those which form superimposable mirror images of each other after having stereogenic centre in its structure. To determine: The explanation for the optical activity of the given form of tartaric acid.

Definition Definition Class of organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group ( - COOH ) and has a general formula R - COOH or R - CO 2 H , where R refers to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other groups. They can undergo different chemical reactions, such as acid-base reactions, esterification, and oxidation. These are essential components of living organisms, playing important roles in metabolic processes, signaling, and as pharmaceuticals.

Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The optical activity of the given form of tartaric acid is to be explained and the structure of its optically active form is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Optically active compounds are those consist of a chiral centre and rotate a plane of polarized light in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction. Tartaric acid is an
α-hydroxy-carboxylic acid having a structural formula
(HO2CCH(OH)CH(OH)CO2H). It also exists in meso form. Meso compounds are those which form superimposable mirror images of each other after having stereogenic centre in its structure.
To determine: The explanation for the optical activity of the given form of tartaric acid.

6. Chlorine dioxide (CIO) is used as a disinfectant in municipal water-treatment plants. It decomposes in
a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 14 s. How long would it take for an initial concentration of
0.06 M to decrease to 0.02 M? [6 pts]
If possible, replace an H atom on the
a carbon of the molecule in the
drawing area with a methyl group
substituent, and replace an H atom
on the ẞ carbon with a hydroxyl
group substituent.
If one of the substituents can't be
added for any reason, just don't add
it. If neither substituent can be
added, check the box under the
drawing area.
