Interpretation:
The constitution of the given material having the molecular formula
Concept Introduction:
>Ozonolysis of
If formaldehyde is produced after ozonolysis, it can be deduced that the alkene has a terminal double bond.
>If an aldehyde is produced after ozonolysis, at least one of the double bonded carbon atoms in the alkene has a hydrogen attached to it.
>If a ketone is produced after ozonolysis, at least one of the double bonded carbon atoms in the alkene must be disubstituted.
>Catalytic hydrogenation of alkenes leads to the production of

- What is the relationship between the plant pigment beta-carotene and vitamin A?arrow_forwardWhat is the molecular structure of Oxazepam glucuronide?arrow_forwardThe hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to orthophosphate drives biosynthetic reactions such as DNA synthesis. In Escherichia coli, a pyrophosphatase catalyzes this hydrolytic reaction. The pyrophosphatase has a mass of 120 kDa and consists of six identical subunits. A unit of activity for this enzyme, U, is the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes 10 umol of pyrophosphate in 15 minutes. The purified enzyme has a Vnax of 2800 U per milligram of enzyme. When (S] >> KM, how many micromoles of substrate can 1 mg of enzyme hydrolyze per second? Vnax = umol -s. mg- If cach enzyme subunit has one active site, how many micromoles of active sites, or (E]r, are there in 1 mg of enzyme? (Er = umol - mg-arrow_forward
- Write the combustion reaction for C2H6.arrow_forwardYou are given 150 mL of an oil made up of a mixture of 3 fatty acids: palmitoleic acid (C 16:1 (n-7)) erucic acid (C 22:1 (n-9)) stearidonic acid (C 18:4 (n-3)) You know that the 150 mL sample of this oil was prepared by adding 60 mL of palmitoleic acid to 90 mL of a mixture of erucic acid and stearidonic acid. Using a hydrometer you carefully measure the density of the 150 mL sample of oil and your analysis indicates that it has a density of 0.900 g/cm3. The densities of the individual fatty acids are: palmitoleic acid = 0.894 g/cm3 erucic acid = 0.860 g/cm3 stearidonic acid = 0.9334 g/cm3 Can you determine the volumes (in mL) of erucic acid and stearidonic acid in the total volume (150 mL) of the oil mixture?arrow_forward(a) What is the difference between the hormones progesterone and testosterone?
