Chapter 5, Problem 5.25SP
The following four structures are naturally occurring optically active compounds. Star (*) the asymmetric carbon atoms in these structures.
Expert Solution & Answer
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The asymmetric carbon atoms in the given structures are to be marked by star.
Concept introduction: A chiral carbon atom is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms and shows a tetrahedral geometry. The mirror image of a chiral compound is non-super imposable. The two different forms in which a single chiral carbon can exist are referred as enantiomers. The number of enantiomers of a molecule depends on the number of chiral centers.
To determine: The asymmetric carbon atoms in the given structures marked by star.
Answer to Problem 5.25SP

When 15.00 mL of 3.00 M NaOH was mixed in a calorimeter with 12.80 mL of 3.00 M HCl, both initially at room temperature (22.00 C), the temperature increased to 29.30 C. The resultant salt solution had a mass of 27.80 g and a specific heat capacity of 3.74 J/Kg. What is heat capacity of the calorimeter (in J/C)? Note: The molar enthalpy of neutralization per mole of HCl is -55.84 kJ/mol.
