(a)
Interpretation: A plane of symmetry for the given molecule is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Optical activity of a molecule is the interaction between molecule and plane-polarized light. Molecule having asymmetric center shows optical activity except meso compounds. Asymmetric center is a stereocenter which arises in hydrocarbons if the carbon is bonded to four different groups.
A compound with asymmetric centers possesses a plane of symmetry, so it is superimposable on its mirror image, thereby the compound is achiral.
(b)
Interpretation: A plane of symmetry for the given molecule is to be drawn.

- Could you please solve the first problem in this way and present it similarly but color-coded or step by step so I can understand it better? Thank you!arrow_forwardCould you please solve the first problem in this way and present it similarly but (color-coded) and step by step so I can understand it better? Thank you! I want to see what they are doingarrow_forwardCan you please help mne with this problem. Im a visual person, so can you redraw it, potentislly color code and then as well explain it. I know im given CO2 use that to explain to me, as well as maybe give me a second example just to clarify even more with drawings (visuals) and explanations.arrow_forward
- Part 1. Aqueous 0.010M AgNO 3 is slowly added to a 50-ml solution containing both carbonate [co32-] = 0.105 M and sulfate [soy] = 0.164 M anions. Given the ksp of Ag2CO3 and Ag₂ soy below. Answer the ff: Ag₂ CO3 = 2 Ag+ caq) + co} (aq) ksp = 8.10 × 10-12 Ag₂SO4 = 2Ag+(aq) + soy² (aq) ksp = 1.20 × 10-5 a) which salt will precipitate first? (b) What % of the first anion precipitated will remain in the solution. by the time the second anion starts to precipitate? (c) What is the effect of low pH (more acidic) condition on the separate of the carbonate and sulfate anions via silver precipitation? What is the effect of high pH (more basic)?
