Question

10 multiple choice 2 points the boiling point of s - 2 - butanol is 99°c. what is the boiling point of r - 2 - butanol? -99°c 99°c 0°c 150°c previous

Explanation:

Step1: Identify isomer relationship

R - 2 - butanol and S - 2 - butanol are enantiomers.

Step2: Recall property of enantiomers

Enantiomers have identical physical properties such as boiling - point, melting - point etc. except for the direction of rotation of plane - polarized light.

Step3: Determine boiling point

Since S - 2 - butanol has a boiling point of 99°C, R - 2 - butanol also has a boiling point of 99°C.

Answer:

B. 99°C
