4) Multistriatin, one of the pheremones of the elm bark beetle, is a volatile compound released by a virgin female beetle when she has found a good food source - an elm tree. Male beetles, which carry the Dutch elm disease fungus, are attracted by the pheromone; the tree becomes infected with the fungus and soon dies. Multistriatin is used to trap the beetles, but the amount in beetles is so miniscule that the compound must be synthesized.

The hydrocarbon naphthalene was frequently used in mothballs until recently, when it was discovered that human inhalation of naphthalene vapors can lead to hemolytic anemia. Naphthalene is 93.71% carbon by mass, and a 0.256-mole sample of naphthalene has a mass of 32.8 g. What is the molecular formula of naphthalene? This compound works as a pesticide in mothballs by. sublimation of the .solid so that it fumigates enclosed spaces with its vapors according to the equation Naphthalene(s)naphthalene(g)K=4.29106(at298K) If 3.00 g solid naphthalene is placed into an enclosed space with a volume of 5.00 L at 25C, what percentage of the naphthalene will have sublimed once equilibrium bas been established?
imagine that you have passed general chemistry with flying colors and are now doing undergraduate research for me. Once you stop dancing for joy (because you got an A, of course), considerer the following reaction: NiCl2 + 6NH3 + 2 KClO4 --> Ni(NH3)6(ClO4)2 + 2KCl if you mix 1.0406g of NiCl2, .0092g NH3 and 2.0008g of KClO4 how many g of KCl form?

The ethyl acetate concentration in an alcoholic solution was determined by diluting a 10.00-mL sample to 100.00 mL. A 19.00-mL portion of the diluted solution was refluxed with 40.00 mL of 0.04601 M KOH: CH3 СОО С2H; + ОН — СH3 COO + C2H; ОН After cooling, the excess OH was back-titrated with 3.02 mL of 0.05056 M H2 SO4. Calculate the amount of ethyl acetate (88.11 g/mol) in the original sample in grams. Amount of ethyl acetate =
DDT (molar mass % 354.49 g/mol) was a widely used insecticide that was banned from use in the United States in 1973. This ban was brought about due to the persistence of DDT in many different ecosystems, leading to high accumulations of the substance in many birds of prey. The insecticide was shown to cause a thinning of egg shells, pushing many birds toward extinction. If a 20-L drum of DDT was spilled into a pond, resulting in a DDT concentration of 8.75 X 10-5 M, how long would it take for the levels of DDT to reach a concentration of 1.41 X 10-7 M (a level that is generally assumed safe in mammals)? Assume the decomposition of DDT is a frst-order process with a half-life of 56.0 days.

One of the many remarkable enzymes in the human bodyis carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the interconversionof carbon dioxide and water with bicarbonate ionand protons. If it were not for this enzyme, the body couldnot rid itself rapidly enough of the CO2 accumulated bycell metabolism. The enzyme catalyzes the dehydration(release to air) of up to 107 CO2 molecules per second.Which components of this description correspond to theterms enzyme, substrate, and turnover number?
