(a)
Interpretation:
Isoprene units in the given set of compounds need to be circled.
Concept introduction:
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds which share a common feature. All terpenes are thought to be assembled from isoprene units having five carbon atoms. So the structure of terpenes has the carbon atoms in multiples of five only.
The isoprene units are identified by following few steps namely,
- Identify the number of isoprene units
- Look for methyl group
- Trial and error to find isoprene unit
To identify: the isoprene units in bisabolene

You are trying to determine the rate law expression for a reaction that you are completing at 25°C. You measure the initial reaction rate and the starting concentrations of the reactions for 4 trials. BrO³¯ (aq) + 5Br¯ (aq) + 6H* (aq) → 3Br₂ (l) + 3H2O (l) Initial rate Trial [BrO3] [H*] [Br] (mol/L) (mol/L) | (mol/L) (mol/L.s) 1 0.10 0.10 0.10 8.0 2 0.20 0.10 0.10 16 3 0.10 0.20 0.10 16 4 0.10 0.10 0.20 32 a. Based on the above data what is the rate law expression? b. Solve for the value of k (make sure to include proper units) 2. The proposed reaction mechanism is as follows: i. ii. BrО¸¯ (aq) + H+ (aq) → HBrO3 (aq) HBrO³ (aq) + H* (aq) → H₂BrO3* (aq) iii. H₂BrO³* (aq) + Br¯ (aq) → Br₂O₂ (aq) + H2O (l) [Fast] [Medium] [Slow] iv.
