Interpretation:
Based on the Newman projection given, the front carbon and the back carbon in the structure are to be labeled.
Concept introduction:
Newman projection is a two-dimensional representation of a molecule viewed down the bond of interest. In a Newman projection, the two atoms directly connected by the bond of interest are shown explicitly. The nearer atom is depicted as a point. The more distant atom is depicted as a circle. Bonds to the front atom converge at the point, whereas bonds to the back atom connect to the circle. The bond of interest is not visible; instead, it must be imagined as connecting the front and back carbons. A Newman projection does, however, highlight the other bonds to the front and back atoms.

- One method for the analysis of Fe3+, which is used with a variety of sample matrices, is to form the highly colored Fe3+–thioglycolic acid complex. The complex absorbs strongly at 535 nm. Standardizing the method is accomplished using external standards. A 10.00-ppm Fe3+ working standard is prepared by transferring a 10-mL aliquot of a 100.0 ppm stock solution of Fe3+ to a 100-mL volumetric flask and diluting to volume. Calibration standards of 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, and 5.00 ppm are prepared by transferring appropriate amounts of the 10.0 ppm working solution into separate 50-mL volumetric flasks, each of which contains 5 mL of thioglycolic acid, 2 mL of 20% w/v ammonium citrate, and 5 mL of 0.22 M NH3. After diluting to volume and mixing, the absorbances of the external standards are measured against an appropriate blank. Samples are prepared for analysis by taking a portion known to contain approximately 0.1 g of Fe3+, dissolving it in a minimum amount of HNO3, and diluting to…arrow_forwardAbsorbance and transmittance are related by: A = -log(T) A solution has a transmittance of 35% in a 1-cm-pathlength cell at a certain wavelength.

- Compared to incident (exciting) radiation, fluorescence emission will have a: Higher energy Higher frequency Longer wavelengtharrow_forwardLin and Brown described a quantitative method for methanol based on its effect on the visible spectrum of methylene blue. In the absence of methanol, methylene blue has two prominent absorption bands at 610 nm and 663 nm, which correspond to the monomer and the dimer, respectively. In the presence of methanol, the intensity of the dimer’s absorption band decreases, while that for the monomer increases. For concentrations of methanol between 0 and 30% v/v, the ratio of the two absorbance, A663/ A610, is a linear function of the amount of methanol. Use the following standardization data to determine the %v/v methanol in a sample if A610 is 0.75 and A663 is 1.07.arrow_forwardThe crystal field splitting energy, Δ, of a complex is determined to be 2.9 × 10-19 What wavelength of light would this complex absorb?

- A key component of a monochromator is the exit slit. As the exit slit is narrowed, the bandwidth of light (i.e., the range of wavelengths) exiting the slit gets smaller, leading to higher resolution. What is a possible disadvantage of narrowing the exit slit?
