Question
Chapter 4, Problem 47Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The cap - and – trade system has to be compared and contrasted with a carbon tax.
Concept introduction:
The Cap-and- trade means a government authority establishes a cap that limits the total amount of pollution allowed and then distributes permits for a right to pollute the global atmosphere, which can be traded as private property.
Carbon tax is a form of pollution tax. A fee for greenhouse gas pollution and this tax makes using dirty fuels more expensive.

1. Using Online resources and chemical structures hand draw four different
organic compounds (not those already shown in your handout) that are
chiral, optically active (a pair of enantiomers will count as one). Pay attention
to correct stereochemistry
2. Write or type a short paragraph to Discuss the stereochemical relationship
between the four compounds.

- Could you crystallize one enantiomer of mandelic acid from a racemic mixture (using the typical achiral solvents found in our lab) without preparing a diastereomeric salt? Why or why not? No, because both enantiomers have the same solubility in achiral solvents. than the other. ооо Yes, because one enantiomer has a higher melting point No, because both enantiomers are liquids.
