- The heat of combustion of methane, a component of natural gas, is 212 kcal/mol. That of propane, a component of LP gas, is 530 kcal/mol. On a gram- for-gram basis, which hydrocarbon is the better source of heat energy?arrow_forward13-31 What structural features are common to vitamin E, BHT, and BHA (the three antioxidants presented in Section 13-40?arrow_forward13-39 (Chemical Connections 13B) What is a carcinogen What kind of carcinogen is found in cigarette smoke?arrow_forward
- 14-66 1,4-Butanediol, hexane, and 1-pentanol have similar molecular weights. Their boiling points, arranged from lowest to highest, are 69°C, 138°C, and 230°C. Which compound has which boiling point?arrow_forward11-58 (Chemical Connections 11A) How many rings in te trodotoxin contain only carbon atoms? How many contain nitrogen atoms?

- 12-61 (Chemical Connections 12A) What is one function of ethylene as a plant growth regulator?arrow_forward13-56 Four alternatives to the structure of benzene proposed by Kekule are shown in the text. In this problem, we ask you to propose additional alternatives for compounds with the molecular formula C6Hg. As you think about possible alternatives keep in mind the building blocks available to you. Also keep in mind that carbon must be tetravalent, that is, each carbon must have no more and no fewer than four bonds. Three- four-, five-, and six-membered rings Carbon—carbon single, double, and triple bonds The possibility for cis /trans isomerism for carbon-carbon double bondsarrow_forward13-11 Explain why the compound 1,4-dichlorobenzene does not show eis-trans isomerism.arrow_forward
