Interpretation :
The types of molecules that will have mirror image isomers must be explained.
Concept Introduction :
An unsymmetrical object will look different in mirror. A molecule without any symmetry will have mirror image isomer.
A chiral molecule is the one in which no symmetry elements are present except simple rotation axis of symmetry.

Answer to Problem 2E
A chiral molecule will have mirror image isomer.
Explanation of Solution
Due to absence of symmetry element, a chiral molecule will have a mirror image which is non-superimposable with the original molecule. Thus, the two images will not be identical. So a chiral molecule (unsymmetrical molecule) will have mirror-image isomer.
A chiral molecule will have mirror-image isomer.

- If we assume a system with an anodic overpotential, the variation of n as a function of current density: 1. at low fields is linear 2. at higher fields, it follows Tafel's law Obtain the range of current densities for which the overpotential has the same value when calculated for 1 and 2 cases (maximum relative difference of 5% compared to the behavior for higher fields). To which overpotential range does this correspond? Data: i = 1.5 mA cm², T = 300°C, B = 0.64, R = 8.314 J K1 mol-1 and F = 96485 C mol-1.arrow_forwardAnswer by equation pleasearrow_forwardSome of the theories used to describe interface structure can be distinguished by:1. the measured potential difference.2. the distribution of ions in solution.3. the calculation of charge density.4. the external Helmoltz plane.arrow_forward
