- The quantitative differences in biological activity between the two enantiomers of a compound are sometimes quite large. For example, the D isomer of the drug isoproterenol, used to treat mild asthma, is 50 to 80times more effective as a bronchodilator than the L isomer. Identify the chiral center in isoproterenol.

It is used to make cosmetics, ointments, soaps, and candles and is found in animal tissue as part of many saturated fats. In fact, when you eat meat, you are ingesting some fats containing stearic acid. Determine the AHrxn for this combustion given the following information: AH of stearic acid = -948 kJ/mol, AHf of CO, = -394 kJ/mol, AHf of water = -242 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat (q) released in kJ when 261.8 g of stearic acid reacts with 903.9 g of oxygen. Enter a positive number to 0 decimal place.arrow_forward
