Let’s do some R/S configuration practice and check solutions.
1. Assign R/S configuration to each chirality center in the following molecules:
2. Draw the line bond structures of the following molecules:
a. (S)-3-ethyl-2-methyloctane
b. (3R,5S,6R)-5-ethyl-3,6-dimethylnonane
c. (4R,5S)-4,5-diethyloctane
d. (3S,6S)-6-isopropyl-3-methyldecane
CHALLENGE PROBLEM
3. Assign R/S configuration to each chirality center in the following molecule called brucine:

FacebookTweetPin Which of the following molecules can exist as Z or E isomers? Draw the (E) and (Z) forms. If one of the carbons on the C=C is attached to two same groups (such as two hydrogens), it can not have E/Z configuration. For example, if we look at the double bond in the top…
FacebookTweetPin Write a balanced equation for the reaction of solid lead(II) sulfide with aqueous hydrobromic acid to form solid lead(II)bromide and dihydrogen monosulfide gas. Solution: If the question says solid, we need to write (s) next to the compound, liquid means (l), gaseous means (g) and aqueous means (aq). The equation is: PbS(s) + HBr(aq) —>…
FacebookTweetPin Resonance structures are multiple electronic representations of the same molecule. The only difference between resonance structures is the location of electrons. A molecule is a hybrid of all of its resonance structures. What this means is that a molecule does NOT switch from one resonance form to another. Rather, it is a combination of…
FacebookTweetPin What is the value of Kb for the formate anion, HCOO–? Ка(HCOOH) = 2.1 × 10-4 Solution:The equation that is needed to solve this problem is Ka*Kb= 1.0 *10-14 (at 25C), where Ka is the equilibrium constant of an acid and Kb is the equilibrium constant of its conjugate base. Let’s plug in the…
