Key Questions – Carbon in the world

12.)
13.)

14.) Insulin
 In form of white crystalline powder.
 Insulin is slightly soluble in water. Insoluble with alcohol or chloroform
 Frederick Banting and Charles H. Best discovered insulin. Both were born in Ontario,
Canada
 Insulin is used to treat diabetic patients that cannot produce insulin themselves. Insulin is
injected underneath the skin, often several times a day
 Benefit is that it helps people with type 1 diabetes to live

Key Questions – Representing Hydrocarbons and Simple Organic Compounds


15.)

16a) 3-Ethyl-2-methyl-hexane
b) 2-Nonene
c) butane

17.)
18.) EN(Carbon) – EN(Hydrogen) = 2.55 - 2.20 = 0.35
0.35 is near the line for polar vs nonpolar which is 0.30, this will be ruled out
EN(Nitrogen) – EN(Carbon) = 3.04 – 2.55 = 0.49
Bond is polar, there are 3 Carbon-Nitrogen bonds in the molecule, so this will make 3 out of 5 of
the polar bonds
EN(Oxygen) – EN(Carbon) = 3.44 -2.55 = 0.89
More polar than the previous bond
5 polar bonds in the Tamoxifen molecule: 3 Carbon-Nitrogen bonds and 2 Carbon-Oxygen
bonds

Key Questions – Functional Groups and Complex Organic Compounds


19.) Functional groups in:
 9-Oxo-2-decenoic acid are the carboxylic acid functional group and the ketone functional
group
 Trans-9-hydroxydec-2-enoic acid has the alcohol functional group and the carboxylic
acid functional group
 Methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate has the ester functional group and the alcohol function group
 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenethanol has the alcohol functional group and the ether
functional group
20a) Propyl heptanoate
b) butan-1,2,3-triol
c) ethyl propyl ether
d) 1-Propanol
e) 1,4-dimethylhexan-1-ol
f) propan-1-amine
21a) Propanol, 2-Propanone (Acetone), Propane
b) Propanol, 2-Propanone (Acetone), Propane
Key Questions – Applications and Implications of Carbon Chemistry
22a) artificial sweetener that contains very few calories and can be used in the place of sugar
b) 2 functional groups in aspartame are carboxyl and ester
c) Instant cocoa mixes, maple syrup, and sugar free ketchup
d) when consumed, it is completely broken down by the enzymes in the digestive systems into
two amino acids and methanol
e) Reports over the last decade claim that aspartame causes or increases the risk of diseases
such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease.
f) Aspartame is formed from 2 amino acids, L-aspartic acid and the methyl ester of L-
phenylalanine.
