Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 16P
Suppliers of radioisotopically labeled compounds usually provide each product as a mixture Of labeled and unlabeled material. Unlabeled material is added deliberately as a carrier, partly because the specific activity of the carrier-free product is too high to be useful and partly because the product is more stable at lower specific activities. Using the radioactive decay law, calculate the
following.
a. The specific activity Of carrier-free [22P]-orthophosphate, in mCi/mmol.
b. The fraction Of H atoms that are radioactive in a preparation Of uniform-label [3H]-leucine, provided at 10 mCi/mmol.
Predict the product(s) of the following reactions:

Propanamide and methyl acetate have about the same molar mass, both are quite soluble in water, and yet the boiling point of propanamide is 486 K, whereas that of methyl acetate is 330 K. Explain.
You have an initial solution in which you added quantities of “A” and “B” such that there is 4.5 M “A” and 2.5 M “B” and no complex (“AB”) at time 0. After equilibrium, you are able to isolate and quantitate the “AB” complex, and find its concentration is 1.5 M. Given that RT is 0.59 kcal/mol, what is the delta Go’ for the association reaction?
What product is formed when a solution of A and B is treated with mild base? This reaction is the first step in the synthesis of rosuvastatin (sold as a calcium salt under the trade name Crestor), a drug used to treat patients with high cholesterol.
