Chapter 28.6, Problem 28.12P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Molecular structures of the given organophosphorus insecticides should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Organophosphorus compounds are usually esters, amides or thiol derivatives of phosphonic acid and form a large family of chemical agents with biological properties that have important, and sometimes unique, applications for the benefit of mankind. Organophosphorus insecticides are one such a big family in organophosphorus group.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The suitable insecticide which can be used in our garden should be determined from the given organophosphate insecticide and the correct reason for choosing that insecticide should be given.

Concept introduction:

Organophosphorus compounds are usually esters, amides or thiol derivatives of phosphonic acid and form a large family of chemical agents with biological properties that have important, and sometimes unique, applications for the benefit of mankind. Organophosphorus insecticides are one such a big family in organophosphorus group.

LD50 represents the individual dose required to kill 50 percent of a population of test animals and it is a n index determination of medicine and poison’s virulence.

Lower the LD50 dose, the more toxic the pesticide.

Cocaine (C17H21O4N; Figure 2) is a natural substance found in leaves of the coca plant, which have been used for centuries as a local anaesthetic and stimulant. Illegal cocaine arrives in the USA either as the pure compound or as the hydrochloride salt (C17H21O4NHCl). At 25oC, the salt is very soluble in water (2.50 kg/L), but pure cocaine is much less so (1.70 g/L)What is the maximum amount of the salt (in gram) that can dissolve in 50.0 mL of water?When a 25 mL aqueous solution that contains 62.50 g of the salt is treated with NaOH, the salt is converted to pure cocaine. How much water (in litres) is needed additionally to dissolve the formed pure cocaine?
Determine the weight/volume of the chemicals needed to prepare the following solutions:  a) 100 ml of 0.9% (w/v) saline (NaCl)  b)  30 ml of 50% glycerol (v/v) 
  c) Electrophoresis requires TAE, which is a specific mixture of Tris base, acetic acid, and EDTA. TAE is normally made as a 50X concentrated stock. Provide a recipe to make 40 ml of 50X TAE.   The recipe for one liter of 50X TAE is as follows: 242g Tris base, 57.1 ml glacial acetic acid, 100 ml 0.5 M EDTA
(a) Cholesterol isolated from natural sources is enantiopure. The observed rotation of a 0.3-g sample of cholesterol in 15 mL of chloroform solution contained in a 10-cm polarimeter tube is −0.78°. Calculate the specific rotation of cholesterol. (b) A sample of synthetic cholesterol consisting entirely of (+)-cholesterol was mixed with some natural (−)-cholesterol. The specific rotation of the mixture was −13°. What fraction of the mixture was (+)-cholesterol?
