Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given molecule is chiral or not is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The absence of chiral centers does not guarantee that a molecule is achiral. For a molecule to be chiral, it must not be superimposable on its mirror image. Allenes are the cumulated dienes in which one carbon atom is attached with each of its two neighbouring carbon atoms by double bonds. Disubstituted allenes are the ones in which the two hydrogen atoms on the same carbon or on adjacent carbon atoms are replaced by two non-hydrogen substituents.
Examine both “ends” of the allene. If either of those ends is attached to two identical substituents, it is achiral – because it will have a mirror plane. If neither of the ends are attached to two identical substituents, then it is chiral.

- ох 4-tert-butyl oxy cyclohex-1-ene Incorrect, 1 attempt remaining The systematic name of this compound classifies the -OR group as a substituent of the hydrocarbon, which is considered the principal functional group. The ether substituent is named with the suffix 'oxy'. The general format for the systematic name of a hydrocarbon is: [prefix/substituent] + [parent] + [functional group suffix] Substituents are listed in alphabetical order. Molecules with a chiral center will indicate the absolute configuration at the beginning of its name with the R and S notation.arrow_forward5. Compressibility (6 points total). The isothermal compressibility is a measure of how hard/easy it is to compress an object (how squishy is it?) at constant temperature. It is др defined as Br=-()=-(200²)T' (a) You might wonder why there is a negative sign in this formula. What does it mean when this quantity is positive and what does it mean when this quantity is negative? (b) Derive the formula for the isothermal compressibility of an ideal gas (it is very simple!) (c) Explain under what conditions for the ideal gas the compressibility is higher or lower, and why that makes sense.arrow_forward19.
