Short Answer

Expert verified
Draw the structural formulas for each dimethylheptane isomer as follows: a. 2,2-dimethylheptane: \(\displaystyle{CH_{3}-C(CH_{3})_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{3}}\) b. 3,3-dimethylheptane: \(\displaystyle{CH_{3}-CH_{2}-C(CH_{3})_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{3}}\) c. 2,3-dimethylheptane: \(\displaystyle{CH_{3}-C(CH_{3})-CH(CH_{3})-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{3}}\) d. 2,4-dimethylheptane: \(\displaystyle{CH_{3}-C(CH_{3})-CH_{2}-CH(CH_{3})-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-CH_{3}}\)

Step by step solution

01

(Drawing 2,2-dimethylheptane)

(First, draw a straight carbon chain with 7 carbon atoms (heptane backbone). Then, add methyl groups (CH3) to the second carbon from both ends. Lastly, fill in the remaining hydrogen atoms, ensuring each carbon atom has 4 total bonds.)
02

(Drawing 3,3-dimethylheptane)

(First, draw a straight carbon chain with 7 carbon atoms (heptane backbone). Then, add methyl groups (CH3) to the third carbon from both ends. Lastly, fill in the remaining hydrogen atoms, ensuring each carbon atom has 4 total bonds.)
03

(Drawing 2,3-dimethylheptane)

(First, draw a straight carbon chain with 7 carbon atoms (heptane backbone). Then, add one methyl group (CH3) to the second carbon and another to the third carbon counting from any end. Lastly, fill in the remaining hydrogen atoms, ensuring each carbon atom has 4 total bonds.)
04

(Drawing 2,4-dimethylheptane)

(First, draw a straight carbon chain with 7 carbon atoms (heptane backbone). Then, add one methyl group (CH3) to the second carbon and another to the fourth carbon counting from any end. Lastly, fill in the remaining hydrogen atoms, ensuring each carbon atom has 4 total bonds.)

What is wrong with the following names? Give the correct name for each compound. a. 2 -ethylpropane b. 5 -iodo \(-5,6\) -dimethylhexane c. cis-4-methyl-3-pentene d. 2 -bromo- 3 -butanol

Which base will hydrogen-bond with uracil within an RNA molecule? Draw the structure of this base pair.

The average molar mass of one base pair of nucleotides in DNA is approximately \(600 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}\). The spacing between successive base pairs is about \(0.34 \mathrm{~nm}\), and a complete turn in the helical structure of DNA occurs about every \(3.4 \mathrm{~nm}\). If a DNA molecule has a molar mass of \(4.5 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}\), approximately how many complete turns exist in the DNA \(\alpha\) -helix structure?

Draw the structures of the tripeptides gly-ala-ser and ser-alagly. How many other tripeptides are possible using these three amino acids?

A chemical "breathalyzer" test works because ethanol in the breath is oxidized by the dichromate ion (orange) to form acetic acid and chromium(III) ion (green). The balanced reaction is \(3 \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}(a q)+2 \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}{ }^{2-}(a q)+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}(a q) \longrightarrow\) \(3 \mathrm{HC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}(a q)+4 \mathrm{Cr}^{3+}(a q)+11 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\) You analyze a breathalyzer test in which \(4.2 \mathrm{mg} \mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}\) was reduced. Assuming the volume of the breath was \(0.500 \mathrm{~L}\) at \(30 .{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(750 . \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}\), what was the mole percent alcohol of the breath?
