Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 86P
Eleostearic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid found in tung oil, obtained from the seeds of the tung oil tree (Aleurites for dii) a deciduous tree native to China. Eleostearic acid is unusual in that the double bond at C9 is cis, but the other two double bonds are trans, (a) Draw the structure of eleostearic acid, showing the arrangement of groups around each double bond, (b) Draw a stereoisomer of eleostearic acid in which all of the double bonds are trans, (c) Which compound, eleostearic acid or its all-trans isomer, has the higher melting point? Explain your reasoning.

Consider lisinopril, a drug used primarily in the treatment of high blood pressure, heart failure, and after heart attacks.
(a) Name the various functional groups in lisinopril.
(b) What intermolecular forces are expected to exist between molecules of lisinopril in close proximity to one another (Section 5.7)?
Draw the structure of a hydrocarbon with molecular formula C6H10 that also contains: (a) a carbon–carbon triple bond; (b) two carbon–carbon double bonds; (c) one ring and one C=C.
Stearic acid (C18H36O2) is a typical fatty acid, a moleculewith a long hydrocarbon chain andan organic acid group (COOH) at the end. It is used to make cosmetics, ointments,soaps,and candles and is found in animal tissue as part of manysaturated fats. In fact, when youeat meat, chances are that youare ingesting some fats that contain stearic acid.(a) Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion ofstearic acid to gaseousproducts.(b) Calculate ∆H°rxnfor this combustion (∆H°f = -948 kJ/mol).(c) Calculate the heat (q) in kJ and kcal when 1.00 g of stearicacid is burned completely.(d) The nutritional information for a candy bar states that oneserving contains 11.0 g of fatand 100 Calfrom fat (1 Cal =1 kcal). Is this information consistent with your answer inpart (c)?
