Answer:
4.00
Solution:

2-Bromo-3-chloropentane, CH3-CHBr-CHCl-CH2-CH3, has two different chirality centres (the two ends of the chain are not equivalent), so total stereoisomers = 22 = 4: (2R,3R) and (2S,3S) form one enantiomeric pair and (2R,3S) and (2S,3R) form the other; members of different pairs are diastereomers.

Ans. 4 (two pairs of enantiomers).
