Textbook Question

Chapter 3, Problem 128E

In Active Example 3-29 you calculated that you would have to work six weeks to earn enough money to buy a $1082.49 television. You would be working five shifts of four hours each at $ 9.25/hr. But, alas, when you received your first pay check, you found that exactly 23% of your earnings had been withheld for social security, federal and state income taxes, and workers’ compensation insurance. Taking these into account, how many weeks will it take to earn the $1082.49?

Draw the structure of the product of this reaction. H CH2CH3 Br H-... H H3C KOH E2 elimination product • Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. • If there are alternative structures, draw the most stable one. • If no reaction occurs, draw the organic starting material. O + 98 // n ?

4. a) Give a suitable rationale for the following cyclization, stating the type of process involved (e.g. 9-endo-dig), clearly showing the mechanistic details at each step. H CO₂Me 1) NaOMe 2) H3O® CO₂Me

2. Platinum and other group 10 metals often act as solid phase hydrogenation catalysts for unsaturated hydrocarbons such as propylene, CH3CHCH2. In order for the reaction to be catalyzed the propylene molecules must first adsorb onto the surface. In order to completely cover the surface of a piece of platinum that has an area of 1.50 cm² with propylene, a total of 3.45 x 10¹7 molecules are needed. Determine the mass of the propylene molecules that have been absorbed onto the platinum surface.
