(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The empirical and molecular formula of X.

Introduction:

A compound having at least one carbon and one hydrogen is termed as hydrocarbon. The additional atoms and molecules are added to the hydrocarbon chains and various hydrocarbons are formed. The qualitative and quantitative analysis helps to reveal the structure and constituents of the compound.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To draw: The possible structures of X that fit the molecular formula and contain one double bond.

Introduction:

A compound having at least one carbon and one hydrogen is termed as hydrocarbon. The additional atoms and molecules are added to the hydrocarbon chain and various hydrocarbons are formed. The qualitative and quantitative analysis helps to reveal the structure and constituents of the compound.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The structural significance of the observed optical activity and the structures in subpart (b) that are consistent with observation.

Introduction:

A compound having at least one carbon and one hydrogen is termed as hydrocarbon. The additional atoms and molecules are added to the hydrocarbon chain and various hydrocarbons are formed. The qualitative and quantitative analysis helps to reveal the structure and constituents of the compound.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The structural significance of the observation that a solution of X was acidic and the structures in subpart (b) that are consistent with the observation.

Introduction:

A compound having at least one carbon and one hydrogen is termed as hydrocarbon. The additional atoms and molecules are added to the hydrocarbon chain and various hydrocarbons are formed. The qualitative and quantitative analysis helps to reveal the structure and constituents of the compound.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The structure of X and whether more than one structure is consistent with all the data.

Introduction:

A compound having at least one carbon and one hydrogen is termed as hydrocarbon. The additional atoms and molecules are added to the hydrocarbon chain and various hydrocarbons are formed. The qualitative and quantitative analysis helps to reveal the structure and constituents of the compound.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
