Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the given compositions disprove Proust’s law of constant composition or not.
The compound carbon monoxide contains 42.9%, carbon and 57.1% oxygen. The compound carbon dioxide contains 27.3% carbon and 72.7% oxygen.
Concept Introduction:
The law of constant composition or the law of definite composition sometimes called Proust's law which explains that a chemical compound does not depend on its source and method of preparation but always comprises its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass).

2) There are many forms of cancer, all of which involve abnormal cell growth. The growth and
production of cells, called cell proliferation, is known to involve an enzyme called protein
farnesyltransferase (PFTase). It is thought that inhibitors pf PFTase may be useful as anticancer
drugs. The following molecule showed moderate activity as a potential PFTase inhibitor. Draw all
stereoisomers of this compound.
