Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Isoprene units in camphor need to be identified.

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.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY (LL)-W/WILEYPLUS, Chapter 26.8, Problem 4LTS

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 camphor

An open vessel containing water stands in a laboratory measuring 5.0 m x 5.0 m x 3.0 m at 25 °C ; the vapor pressure (vp) of water at this temperature is 3.2 kPa. When the system has come to equilibrium, what mass of water will be found in the air if there is no ventilation? Repeat the calculation for open vessels containing benzene (vp = 13.1 kPa) and mercury (vp = 0.23 Pa)
