Interpretation:
The molecular formula of methyl cinnamate should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The numbers and kinds of atoms present in a molecule of a compound are given by a formula said to be a molecular formula. This formula of a molecule gives the definite
Interpretation:
The
Concept Introduction:
A group of atoms or an atom which is responsible for the characteristic reactions of a particular compound is said to be the functional group. Every functional group shows distinctive chemical properties irrespective to the moiety to which it is attached.
Interpretation:
The carbon-carbon double bond in methyl cinnamate should be labeled as cis or trans.
Concept Introduction:
The molecule with same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in spatial arrangements of atoms in the molecule are said to be geometric isomers of each other.
Interpretation:
The structure of methyl cinnamate should be drawn and each carbon should be labeled as trigonal planar or tetrahedral.
Concept Introduction:
In structural formula, the bonding and type of bonds which holds the atoms in molecule together are shown.

- Organic compounds may have characteristic odors as well as other characteristic physical properties. For example, the distinct odor of the seashore at low tide results in part from the presence of dimethyl sulfide (CH3SCH3), a molecule with a similar structure to dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3). Ethanethiol (CH3CH2SH), also called mercaptan, is an isomer of dimethyl sulfide with a much less pleasant odor.The table lists four related compounds and their enthalpies of vaporization (ΔH°vap) in kJ/mol.

Place the compound with the strongest intermolecular forces (IMFs) at the top of the list. (Strongest to weaknest). Why is ΔHºvap for CH3SCH3 greater than ΔHºvap for CH3OCH3? A. CH3OCH3 is more polar. B. CH3SCH3 has stronger dipole–dipole attractions. C.
