(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of two possible products formed by hydrogenation of linolenic acid with one equivalent H2 in the presence of Pd catalyst should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Lipids are
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of the productformed from complete hydrogenation of linolenic acid should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Lipids are biomolecules that are involved in different biochemical reactions. They are special types of organic molecules that can only identify with the help of their physical properties and not by the presence of any certain functional group. In general, lipids contain a large number of C-C and C-H bonds with few polar functional groups such as −OH, -SH, etc.For example, triacylglycerol consists of three ester groups, whereas, Vitamin E is composed of both ether and phenolic groups.

- Ethers (general formula R—O—R)have many important uses. Until recently,methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE, right)was used as an octane booster and fueladditive for gasoline. It increases the oxy-gen content of the fuel, which reducesCO emissions. MTBE is synthesized bythe catalyzed reaction of 2-methylpropene with methanol.(a) Write a balanced equation for the synthesis of MTBE. (Hint:Alcohols add to alkenes similarly to the way water does.)(b) If the government required that auto fuel mixtures contain2.7% oxygen by mass to reduce CO emissions, how many gramsof MTBE would have to be added to each 100. g of gasoline?(c) How many liters of MTBE would be in each liter of fuel mix-ture? (The density of both gasoline and MTBE is 0.740 g/mL.)(d) How many liters of air (21% O₂ by volume) are needed at24C and 1.00 atm to fully combust 1.00 L of MTBE?arrow_forwardCharacterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true - false status of the statements using the choices. (1) Alcohols have higher boiling points than alkanes of similar molecular mass because of hydrogen bonding. (2) Polyols have similar boiling points to tertiary alcohols. (3) Primary and secondary alcohols give the same type of product when subjected to mild oxidizing agents. Group of answer choices All three statements are true. Two of the three statements are true. Only one of the statements is true. None of the statements are true.arrow_forwardA)What is the IUPAC name for the product when hept-2-yne is reacted with two units of hydrogen gas over a platinum catalyst?B)In the complete combustion of octane the balanced reaction has one mole of the hydrocarbon. How many moles of oxygen are present?C)When 3,3-dimethylbutan-1-ol undergoes gentle oxidation, what is the product?arrow_forward
- When the conjugate acid of aniline, C6H5NH3+, reacts with the acetate ion, the following reaction takes place: C6H5NH3+(aq)+CH3COO(aq)C6H5NH2(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) If Kafor C6H5NH3+ is 1.35105 and Kafor CH3COOH is 1.86105 , what is K for the reaction?arrow_forward(a) When a compound containing C, H, and O is completelycombusted in air, what reactant besides the hydrocarbonis involved in the reaction?arrow_forwardWrite a complete chemical equation showing reactants, products, and catalysts needed(if any) for the following reaction and (2) Draw and name the organic compound found inevery reaction.(Use condensed structural formula) (A) Reaction of cis-3,3-Dimethyl-4-propylocta-1,5-diene with two mole of HBr(B) Reaction of trans-1-Bromo-3-chlorocyclopentane with potassium hydroxide(C) Formation of Gilman reagent using isopropyl bromidearrow_forward
- The saponification of triglycerides and its reverse reaction of the condensation of fatty acids and glycerol to make a triglyceride is just one example of how carbonyl chemistry is important in living organisms. List down two other classes of biomolecules that rely on carbonyls for part of their chemical characteristics and illustrate a simple representative structure of that biomolecule, identifying where the carbonyl is.arrow_forwardUsing condensed structural formulas, write a balancedchemical equation for each of the following reactions:(a) hydrogenation of cyclohexene, (b) addition of H2O totrans-2-pentene using H2SO4 as a catalyst (two products),(c) reaction of 2-chloropropane with benzene in the presenceof AlCl3.arrow_forwardWhat is the structure of the alcohol produced when 3-methyl-1-pentene undergoes (a) acid catalyzed hydration (b) oxymercuration/demercuration (c) hydroboration/oxidationarrow_forward

Fill out the blank, for products, draw all major products showing stereo isomers, if present.arrow_forwardThe IUPAC name for a carboxylic acid is based on thename of the hydrocarbon with the same number of carbonatoms. The ending -oic is appended, as in ethanoic acid,which is the IUPAC name for acetic acid.
