The element you are looking for is Pb (Lead). Just check the last orbital on the periodic table to find it!
The L- isomer serves as the enantiomer of the D- isomer, and given that the optical rotation of the D- isomer is + 13.5°, the L- isomer's optical rotation will have the same magnitude but an opposite sign, resulting in -13.5°.
Thus, the rotation of the racemic mixture will be equal to 0°.
- This occurs because a racemic mixture contains equal proportions of both enantiomers.
No, two atoms that have identical mass numbers can never be considered isotopes of one another. This is due to the fact that for atoms to qualify as isotopes, they must consist of the same number of protons while differing in the number of neutrons. If two atoms share the same mass number, their proton count must also be identical, which implies these atoms cannot be isotopes of each other.
(c) Cu + S → CuS is classified as a redox reaction
Explanation:
The following reactions are presented:
(a) K₂CrO₄ + BaCl₂ → BaCrO₄ + 2 KCl
(b) Pb²⁺ + 2 Br⁻ → PbBr₂
(c) Cu + S → CuS
Reaction (c) represents a redox reaction, as the oxidation states of the elements are changing. In this case:
Cu + S → CuS
In its elemental form, Cu has an oxidation state of 0, while in CuS (copper sulfide), its oxidation state changes to +2.
Similarly, S in its elemental form has an oxidation state of 0 and is -2 in CuS (copper sulfide).
