- 16-35 (Chemical Connections 16B ) What is an alkaloid? Are all alkaloids basic to litmus?arrow_forward18-17 Hexanoic (caproic) acid has a solubility in water of about 1 g/100 mL water. Which part of the molecule contributes to water solubility, and which part prevents solubility?arrow_forward18-30 Complete the equations for these acid-base reactions.arrow_forward
- 18-31 Formic acid is one of the components responsible for the sting of biting ants and is injected under the skin by bee and wasp stings. The pain can be relieved by rubbing the area of the sting with a paste of baking soda (NaHCO3) and water, which neutralizes the acid. Write an equation for this reaction.arrow_forwardDraw structural formulas for the following entities. a. Propanoate ion b. Sodium propanoate c. Acetate ion d. Sodium acetatearrow_forward¨ What other types of analgesics are on the market? How does their action compare with aspirin and why are these alternative drugs necessary? Discuss the differences among the following compounds by drawing their structures: Acetylsalicylic acid, Acetaminophen (Paracetamol), Ibuprofen, Paracetamol and Phenacetin.arrow_forward
- Draw a scheme to show how one would separate a mixture of naphthalene and aniline (Hint: aniline is an organic base that reacts with HCl(aq) to form a salt).arrow_forwardCompounds that contain an N-H group associate by hydrogen bonding. (a) Do you expect this association to be stronger or weaker than that of compounds containing an O-H group? (b) Based on your answer to part (a), which would you predict to have the higher boiling point, 1-butanol or 1-butanamine?arrow_forwardAlkaloids are basic nitrogen-containing compounds of plant origin, many of which are physiologically active when administered to humans. Ingestion of coniine, isolated from water hemlock, can cause weakness, labored respiration, paralysis, and eventually death. Coniine is the toxic substance in the “poison hemlock” used in the death of Socrates. In small doses, nicotine is an addictive stimulant. In larger doses, it causes depression, nausea, and vomiting. In still larger doses, it is a deadly poison. Solutions of nicotine in water are used as insecticides. Cocaine is a central nervous system stimulant obtained from the leaves of the coca plant.Classify each amino group in these alkaloids according to type (primary, secondary, tertiary, aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic).arrow_forward
