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.

(a) Draw a skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid 4-androstene-3,17-dione, also called "andro,"
from the following description. Andro contains the tetracyclic steroid skeieton with carbonyl
groups at C3 and C17, a double bond between C4 and C5, and methyl groups bonded to C10
and C13. (b) Add wedges and dashes for all stereogenic centers with the following information:
the configuration at C10 is R, the configuration at C13 is S, and all substituents at ring fusions are
trans to each other.
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)?
