Textbook Question
Chapter 1.1, Problem 1.1P
Imagine that your job as a healthcare professional is to take a blood sample from a patient and store it in a small container in a refrigerator until it is picked up for analysis in the hospital lab. You might have to put on gloves and a mask, use a plastic syringe with a metal needle, store the sample in a test tube or vial, and place it in a cold refrigerator. Pick five objects you might encounter during the process and decide if they are made of naturally occurring or synthetic materials.

Students have asked these similar questions
student found a bottle of unknown origin in the basement of an
"CAUTION—contains С₁H₁O.” No other
A
old house. The bottle was labelled
information was given, but inside the bottle were some white crystals.
The student took the bottle to a chemistry laboratory, where she analyzed the
crystals with the help of the laboratory staff. C₁2H₁6O reacted with Br₂ in CCl4
adding one mole of Br, and forming C₁₂H₁OB2₂.
When a sample of C₁₂H₂O was reacted with O3 followed by Zn/H₂O, two
different samples, J and K, were obtained. Compound J had a molecular formula
of C.HgO₂, and its NMR is shown below.
Compound K had a molecular formula of C₂H₂O, and it could be oxidized to
compound L, with a molecular formula of C₂H₂O₂. The IR spectrum of L showed
a very wide, strong band centred around 3000 cm*¹. The NMR spectrum of L
showed only two different absorptions: a doublet (6H) at 0.9 ppm and a septet
(1H) at 3.6 ppm. There was also a singlet (1H) off the scale at 11.8 ppm.

Consider Molecule X, which is found in all living cells. This single-strand nucleic acid folds into a compact shape and forms a large complex with about 80
proteins. This complex is responsible for synthesizing new proteins in a living cell.
What is the name of X? Your answer should be one word, or a short two- or three-word phrase. Spelling counts.
Note: if there is more than one possible answer, separate each answer with a comma.

Determining Diet. One method for determining the amount of corn in early Native American diets is the stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) technique. As corn photosynthesizes, it concentrates the isotope carbon-13, whereas most other plants concentrate carbon-12. Overreliance on corn consumption can then be correlated with certain diseases, because corn lacks the essential amino acid lysine. Archaeologists use a mass spectrometer to separate the 12C and 13C isotopes in samples of human remains. Suppose you use a velocity selector to obtain singly ionized (missing one electron) atoms of speed 8.50 km /s, and you want to bend them within a uniform magnetic field in a semicircle of diameter 25.0 cm for the 12C. The measured masses of these isotopes are 1.99 * 10-26 kg (12C) and 2.16 * 10-26 kg (13C). (a) What strength of magnetic field is required? (b) What is the diameter of the 13C semicircle? (c) What is the separation of the 12C and 13C ions at the detector at the end of the…
