Chemistry: An Atoms First Approach
- Catalytic cracking is an industrial process used to convert high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons to low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons. A petroleum company has a huge supply of heating oil stored as straight-chain C17H36, and demand has picked up for shorter chain hydrocarbons to be used in formulating gasoline. The company uses catalytic cracking to create the shorter chains necessary for gasoline. If they produce two molecules in the cracking, and 1-octene is one of them, what is the formula of the other molecule produced? As part of your answer, draw the condensed structural formula of the 1-octene.arrow_forwardThe composition of a cell membrane is not uniform for all types of cells. Some cell membranes are more rigid than others. Rigidity is determined by a variety of factors, one of which is the structure of the carbon chains in the phospholipids that comprise the membrane. One example of a phospholipid was drawn in Section 3.7A, and another, having C-C double bonds in its carbon chains, is drawn here. Which phospholipid would be present in the more rigid cell membrane and why? CH2 H-C-O. (CHa)NCH,CH2-0- -o-CH2 a phospholipid with a bonds in the long hydrocarbon chainsarrow_forwardGlutathione is a tripeptide whose function is to destroy harmful oxidizing agents in the body. Oxidizing agents are thought to be responsible for some of the effects of aging and to play a causative role in cancer. Glutathione removes oxidizing agents by reducing them. In the process, glutathione is oxidized, resulting in the formation of a disulfide bond between two glutathione molecules. An enzyme subsequently reduces the disulfide bond, returning glutathione to its original condition so it can react with another oxidizing agent.a. What amino acids make up glutathione? b. What is unusual about glutathione’s structure?arrow_forward
- Amylose (a form of starch) and cellulose are both polymers of glucose. What is the main structural difference between them? What roles do these two polymers have in nature?arrow_forwardA long polymer chain, such as polyethylene ( -CH2CH2- )n, can potentially exist in solution as a chiral object. Give two examples of chiral structures that a polyethylene chain could adopt.arrow_forwardButylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a common preservativeadded to cereals and other dry foods. Its systematic name is 1-hydroxy-2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylbenzene (where “tert-butyl”is 1,1-dimethylethyl). Draw the structure of BHT.arrow_forward
- Explain why stearic acid has higher melting point than decanoic acid. Explain why salicylic acid has higher melting point than benzoic acid. Explain why benzoic acid has higher melting point than stearic acid. Explain why octane has a higher melting point than isooctane. Explain why 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane has the highest melting point among the three isomers of C8H18arrow_forward1. Explain the following - why stearic acid has higher melting point than decanoic acid. - why benzoic acid has higher melting point than stearic acid. - why salicylic acid has higher melting point than benzoic acid. - why octane has a higher melting point than isooctane. - why 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane has the highest melting point among the three isomers of C8H18.arrow_forwardBiphenyl consists of two benzene rings connected by asingle bond. When Cl atoms substitute for some of the H atoms,polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are formed. There are over 200 different PCBs, but only six with one Cl on each ring. Draw these constitutional isomers.arrow_forward
