Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 27CI
A compound called butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, has been added to cereal and other foods since 1947 as an antioxidant. A common name for BHT is 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (2.6, 7.4, 7.5, 13.1)
- Draw the line-angle structural formula for BHT.
- BHT is produced from 4-methylphenol and 2-methylpropene. Draw the line-angle structural formulas for these reactants.
- What are the molecular formula and molar mass of BHT?
- The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows a maximum of 50. ppm of BHT added to cereal. How many milligrams of BHT could be added to a box of cereal that contains 15 oz of dry cereaI?
