Concept explainers
(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)

- Please correct answer and don't used hand raitingarrow_forwardUse the systematic treatment of equilibrium to determine the pH and the concentrations of all species in a saturated aqueous solution of SrF2. Do not include activity coefficients. The solubility of SrF2 is governed by Ksp for the salt, hydrolysis of F- and of Sr2+, and by ion pairing between Sr2 + and F-. PK(SrF2) = 8.58, PK(HF) = 3.17, pkw = 14.00, pk for the formation of (SrOH+) = 13.18, pk for the formation of (SrF+) = 0.14 Show all your work and upload your answers here. 1 - Write the pertinent reactions. 2 - Write mass balance and charge balance equations. 3 - Write the equilibrium constant expressions. 4 - Count the equations and unknowns. 5- If the problem is solvable make suitable approximations and find the concentrations and the pH.arrow_forwardPlease correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forward

Thanks againarrow_forwardManganese(II) Arsenate is insoluble in water at room temperature. (Note: Arsenate = AsO4³-) In the presence of aqueous ammonia, solid Manganese(II) Arsenate becomes more soluble and aqueous tetraamminemanganese (II) ion forms. When solid Manganese(II) arsenate was placed in a 2.00 M solution of ammonia, at equilibrium, 0.308 M of ammonia remains. If the Kf of tetraamminemanganese (II) ion is 250.0, Determine the Ksp of Manganese(II) arsenate Hint: You will have to figure out the Kspf of the overall chemical equation first, then solve for Ksp by using Kf and Kspfarrow_forward
