Chapter 22, Problem 22.58AP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of an optically active compound C6H12O that racemizes in base is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The carbonyl compound racemizes in the presence of base if their optical activity depends on the chirality of the α-carbon. The optically active aldehyde racemize having chiral α-carbon because hydrogen can attach from either of two faces on the enolate ion formed.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of an achiral compound C6H12O that does not give a positive Tollens test is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The carbonyl compound racemizes in the presence of base if their optical activity depends on the chirality of the α-carbon. The optically active aldehyde racemize having chiral α-carbon because hydrogen can attach from either of two faces on the enolate ion formed.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of an optically active compound C6H12O that neither racemizes in base nor gives a positive Tollens test is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The carbonyl compound racemizes in the presence of base if their optical activity depends on the chirality of the α-carbon. The optically active aldehyde racemize having chiral α-carbon because hydrogen can attach from either of two faces on the enolate ion formed.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The structure of an optically active compound C6H12O that gives a positive Tollens test and does not racemize in base is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The carbonyl compound racemizes in the presence of base if their optical activity depends on the chirality of the α-carbon. The optically active aldehyde racemize having chiral α-carbon because hydrogen can attach from either of two faces on the enolate ion formed.

Suppose the rate of evaporation in a hot, dry region is 1.76 meters per year, and the seawater there has a salinity of 35 ‰. Assuming a 93% yield, how much salt (NaCl) can be harvested each year from 1 km2 of solar evaporation ponds that use this seawater as a source?
