Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:
At what positions the terpenoid guaiol will be labeled if isopentyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate from which they are synthesized are isotopically labeled at the diphosphate bearing carbon atom (C1).
Concept introduction:
In the formation of terpenes every fourth carbon of one dimethylallyl phosphate (formed by the isomerization of isopentyl diphosphate) combines with the first carbon of the isopentyl phosphate molecule. Hence if the diphosphate bearing carbon is labeled, every fourth carbon in a terpene will be a labeled carbon.
To give:
The positions at which the terpenoid guaiol will be labeled if isopentyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate from which it is synthesized are isotopically labeled at the diphosphate bearing carbon atom (C1).
b)
Interpretation:
At what positions the terpenoid sabinene will be labeled if isopentyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate from which they are synthesized are isotopically labeled at the diphosphate bearing carbon atom (C1).

- A complete tensile test was performed on a magnesium specimen of 12 mm diameter and 30 mm length, until breaking. The specimen is assumed to maintain a constant volume. Calculate the approximate value of the actual stress at breaking. TABLE. The tensile force F and the length of the specimen are represented for each L until breaking.

Is this statement correct?arrow_forwardThis thermodynamic cycle describes the formation of an ionic compound MX2 from a metal element M and nonmetal element X in their standard states. What is the lattice enthalpy of MX2 ? What is the enthalpy formation of MX2 ? Suppose both the heat of sublimation of M and the ionization enthalpy of M were smaller. Would MX2 be more stable? Or less? or impossible to tell without more information?arrow_forward
