Interpretation:
The differences in the structural formula of testosterone and methandrostenolone should be determined along with
Concept Introduction:
Steroids are the third major class of lipids. These are the compounds containing the following ring system:
Answer to Problem 17.76P
Both methandrostenolone and testosterone hormone contains hydroxyl functional group (alcohol) and carbonyl functional group (kentone).
In the structural formula of testosterone hormone, there is only one double bond and it has only one methyl group attached to cyclopentane ring whereas in methandrostenolone there are two double bonds and two methyl groups are attached to the cyclopentane ring.
Explanation of Solution
Testosterone and methandrostenolone both the hormones contain one −OH group attached to cyclopentane ring and one >C=O group in cyclohexene ring. Therefore both alcoholic and
In the structure of testosterone there is only a double bond in cyclohexene ring having ketonic group and no methyl group is present on the carbon of cyclopentane ring having alcoholic group as shown:
In the structure of methandrostenolone, there are two double bonds in cyclohexene ring having ketonic group and one methyl group attached on the carbon of cyclopentane ring having alcoholic group as shown:
(b)
Interpretation:
In both the given hormones mark all the stereocenters and state the number of stereoisomer possible for each.
Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers are the compounds that are differ only in the spatial arrangement of their atoms. Each stereoisomer has at least one stereocenter. A stereocenter is a tetrahedral carbon atom that has four different groups bonded to it. For a molecule with n sterocenters, a maximum of
Answer to Problem 17.76P
Stereocenters in testosterone:
Since testosterone has six stereocenters therefore it has 64 possible stereoisomers.
Stereocenters in methandrostenolone:
Since methandrostenolone has six stereocenters therefore it has 64 possible stereoisomers.
Explanation of Solution
A stereocenter is a tetrahedral carbon atom that has four different groups bonded to it.
Stereocenters in testosterone:
In testosterone there are six stereocenters.
For a molecule with n stereocenter, a maximum of
Stereocenters in methandrostenolone:
In methandrostenolone there are six stereocenters.
For a molecule with n stereocenter, a maximum of

- Control Chart Drawing Assignment The table below provides the number of alignment errors observed during the final inspection of a certain model of airplane. Calculate the central, upper, and lower control limits for the c-chart and draw the chart precisely on the graph sheet provided (based on 3-sigma limits). Your chart should include a line for each of the control limits (UCL, CL, and LCL) and the points for each observation. Number the x-axis 1 through 25 and evenly space the numbering for the y-axis. Connect the points by drawing a line as well. Label each line drawn.

Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask.
