Ichthyothereol is isolated from the leaves of Ichthyothere terminalis. It is so toxic to fish that they will jump out of the wat
er if any leaves from this plant are used as bait. It is also used by the indigenous people of the Amazon for poisoned arrowheads. How many stereoisomers are possible for ichthyothereol?
1 answer:
Answer:
See the explanation
Explanation:
We have to start by analyzing the molecule. In the molecule, we have <u>two types of isomerism</u>. In the double bond, we can have <u>E or Z isomerism</u>, and additionally, we have a <u>chiral carbon</u> (a carbon with 4 different bonds) (See figure 1). With this in mind, we can have <u>4 possible isomers</u>.(See figure 2).
<u>a) (3S)-2-(E)-ichthyothereol</u>
<u>b) (3R)-2-(E)-ichthyothereol</u>
<u>c) (3R)-2-(E)-ichthyothereol</u>
<u>d) (3R)-2-(Z)-ichthyothereol</u>

Hello,
In this case, the Boyle's is mathematically defined via:
Which stands for an inversely proportional relationship between volume and pressure, it means the higher the volume the lower the pressure and vice versa. In such a way, since the volume is decreased to one quarter, we can write:
We can compute the new pressure:
Which means the pressure is increased by a factor of four.
