(a)
Interpretation: Comprehend the orientation of methanol molecule towards a negatively charged wand.
Concept Introduction: The polarity of molecule depends on the presence of electropositive and electronegative atoms present in the molecule.
Due to electronegativity difference between bonded atoms, partial charges induce on the bonded atoms. The partial charges effect the physical properties of the polar molecules.
(a)
Answer to Problem 4E
Explanation of Solution
Methanol is a polar molecule as it contains one −OH group. Here O is more electronegative than H atom. Therefore the −OH group is polar with partial negative charge on O and partial positive charge on H atom.
The molecule of methanol will orient towards a negative charge wand in such a way that the electropositive H atom will orient toward wand and the O atom will orient away from wand as it carries partial negative charge as given below:
(b)
Interpretation: Comprehend the position of methanol molecules on waxed paper; either bead up or spread out.
Concept Introduction: The polarity of molecule depends on the presence of electropositive and electronegative atoms present in the molecule.
Due to electronegativity difference between bonded atoms, partial charges induce on the bonded atoms. The partial charges effect the physical properties of the polar molecules.
(b)
Answer to Problem 4E
Methanol molecules bead up over waxed paper.
Explanation of Solution
Methanol is a polar molecule as it contains one −OH group. Here O is more electronegative than H atom. Therefore the −OH group is polar with partial negative charge on O and partial positive charge on H atom. A polar molecule is always soluble in polar solvent. Wax is a non-polar compound as it is composed of long fatty acid chain.
Therefore methanol is not soluble in wax and methanol molecules will bead up over waxed paper.
(c)
Interpretation: Comprehend the solubility of methanol in water.
Concept Introduction: The polarity of molecule depends on the presence of electropositive and electronegative atoms present in the molecule.
Due to electronegativity difference between bonded atoms, partial charges induce on the bonded atoms. The partial charges effect the physical properties of the polar molecules.
(c)
Answer to Problem 4E
Methanol is soluble in water.
Explanation of Solution
Methanol is a polar molecule as it contains one −OH group. Here O is more electronegative than H atom. Therefore the −OH group is polar with partial negative charge on O and partial positive charge on H atom. A polar molecule is always soluble in polar solvent. Water is a polar molecule as it has partially negative O atom that is bonded with partially positive H atom.
Therefore methanol will be soluble in polar water as solvent.

- 2) There are many forms of cancer, all of which involve abnormal cell growth. The growth and production of cells, called cell proliferation, is known to involve an enzyme called protein farnesyltransferase (PFTase). It is thought that inhibitors pf PFTase may be useful as anticancer drugs. The following molecule showed moderate activity as a potential PFTase inhibitor. Draw all stereoisomers of this compound.

The water starts out at 24.5 °C, raising the water's temperature up to 100 °C, and then raises the temperature of the resulting steam up to 325 °C. How many liters of water will be needed to absorb the heat from the fire in this way, for each 1.0 liter of crude oil burned? 4186 J/(kg°C) = heat of water 2020 J/(kg°C) = heat of steam 2,256,000 (i.e. 2.256 x 106) J/kg = latent heat of vaporization for water (at the boiling point of 100 °C).arrow_forward
