Question: By knowing the natural abundances of minor isotopes, it’s possible to
calculate the relative heights of and M+1 peaks. If 13C has a natural
abundance of 1.10%, what are the relative heights of the and
M+1 peaks in the mass spectrum of benzene, C6H6?
Predict the products for the reactions in Problem 8-26 if each were run in DMSO with water. Show the complete mechanism including appropriate regiochemistry and stereochemistry.
Question: It’s useful to develop a feeling for the amounts of energy that correspond to different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Calculate the energies in kJ/mol of each of the following kinds of radiation:
The heat of hydrogenation for allene (Problem 7-61) to yield propane is -295 kJ/mol, and the heat of hydrogenation for a typical monosubstituted alkene, such as propene, is -125 kJ/mol. Is allene more stable or less stable than you might expect for a diene? Explain.
Carvone is an unsaturated ketone responsible for the odour of spearmint. If carvone hasin its mass spectrum and contains three double bonds and one ring, what is its molecular formula?
