What is the number of chiral carbon atoms present in 2-chloro-3,4-dimethylhexane?

A One
B Two
C Three
D Four

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Three

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The number of chiral carbon atoms is 3 .

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

Consider the reaction \(2 \mathrm{~A}+2 \mathrm{~B} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}+2 \mathrm{D}\). If the concentration of \(\mathrm{A}\) is doubled at constant \(\mathrm{B}\), the rate increases by a factor 4 . If the concentration of \(\mathrm{B}\) is doubled at constant \(A\), rate is doubled. What is the rate law?
