Chapter 8, Problem 96SCQ
Acrylamide, H2C=CHCONH2, is a known neurotoxin and possible carcinogen. It was a shock to all consumers of potato chips and french fries a few years ago when it was found to occur in those products.
- (a) Sketch the molecular structure of acrylamide and identify all bond angles.
- (b) Indicate which carbon-carbon bond is the stronger of the two.
- (c) Is the molecule polar or nonpolar?
- (d) The amount of acrylamide found in potato chips is 1.7 mg/kg. If a serving of potato chips is 28 g, how many moles of acrylamide are you consuming?

the three-dimensional structure of the 2-propanol molecule and predict the geometry
around each carbon atom. (b) Is the 2-propanol molecule polar or nonpolar? (c) What
kinds of intermolecular attractive forces exist between the 2-propanol molecules? (d) The
isomer 1-propanol has the same molecular weight as 2-propanol, yet 2-propanol boils at

Oxalic acid,
H2C2O4,
a poisonous colorless solid, is found in some vegetables such as spinach and rhubarb. It is present in concentrations well below the toxic limit, so you can't use this as a reason to refuse a helping of spinach. The order of atoms in a molecule of oxalic acid is
HO2CCO2H.
