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>

Answer:
1. C₄H₁₀ + ¹³/₂O₂ → 4CO₂ + 5H₂O
2. V = 596L
Explanation:
Butane (C₄H₁₀) reacts with oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) thus:
C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
1. The balanced chemical equation is:
C₄H₁₀ + ¹³/₂O₂ → 4CO₂ + 5H₂O
2. 0,360kg of butane are:
360g×=<em>6,19moles of butane</em>
These moles of butane are:
6,19moles of butane×= <em>24,8 moles CO₂</em>
Using V=nRT/P
Where:
n are moles (24,8 moles CO₂); R is gas constant (0,082atmL/molK); T is temperature, 20°C (293,15K); and P is pressure (1atm).
Volume (V) is:
<em>V = 596L</em>
