True or False The relative acidities of two acids can be predicted by comparing

Question

True or False The relative acidities of two acids can be predicted by comparing their boiling points a. b. Molecule A has more bond dipoles than Molecule B. Therefore Molecule A must be more polar than Molecule B. c. The R enantiomer of a particular chiral compound will rotate plane polarized light in the clockwise direction. d. Specific rotation depends on wavelength, path length, and temperature. e. A mixture of two enantiomers is called a racemic mixture. f. Racemic mixtures do not rotate plane polarized light g. BH is a Lewis acid. h. Organic chemistry is challenging but awesome

Explanation / Answer

(a) True, you can compare two acids with their boiling points.

(b) True, bond diploe depends upon the polarity.

(c) True, since R comes in dextrorotatory part so, it will rotate the plane polarized light in the clockwise direction.

(d) True, specific rotation depends upon the wavelength, path length, and temperature.

(e) True, a mixture of two enantiomers is called as a racemic mixture.  

(f) True, racemic mixtures will not rotate the plane-polarized light.

(g) True, BH3 is a Lewis acid because it can accept a lone pair of electrons.

(h) True, organic chemistry is challenging but it is always awesome.
