- Catalytic cracking is an industrial process used to convert high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons to low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons. A petroleum company has a huge supply of heating oil stored as straight-chain C17H36, and demand has picked up for shorter chain hydrocarbons to be used in formulating gasoline. The company uses catalytic cracking to create the shorter chains necessary for gasoline. If they produce two molecules in the cracking, and 1-octene is one of them, what is the formula of the other molecule produced? As part of your answer, draw the condensed structural formula of the 1-octene.arrow_forwardGlutathione is a tripeptide whose function is to destroy harmful oxidizing agents in the body. Oxidizing agents are thought to be responsible for some of the effects of aging and to play a causative role in cancer. Glutathione removes oxidizing agents by reducing them. In the process, glutathione is oxidized, resulting in the formation of a disulfide bond between two glutathione molecules. An enzyme subsequently reduces the disulfide bond, returning glutathione to its original condition so it can react with another oxidizing agent.a. What amino acids make up glutathione? b. What is unusual about glutathione’s structure?arrow_forwardButylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a common preservativeadded to cereals and other dry foods. Its systematic name is 1-hydroxy-2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylbenzene (where “tert-butyl”is 1,1-dimethylethyl). Draw the structure of BHT.arrow_forward
- Biphenyl consists of two benzene rings connected by asingle bond. When Cl atoms substitute for some of the H atoms,polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are formed. There are over 200 different PCBs, but only six with one Cl on each ring. Draw these constitutional isomers.arrow_forwardExplain why stearic acid has higher melting point than decanoic acid. Explain why salicylic acid has higher melting point than benzoic acid. Explain why benzoic acid has higher melting point than stearic acid. Explain why octane has a higher melting point than isooctane. Explain why 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane has the highest melting point among the three isomers of C8H18arrow_forwardPolychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are chemicals formed by attaching one or more chlorine atoms to a pair of connected benzene rings. (a) Summarise the adverse health effects associated with exposure to PCBs. (b) With a suitable illustration, explain the action of PCBs toxicity.arrow_forward
