Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
It should be described that how the given structure of
Concept introduction:
In chemistry Structure is the arrangement of
Sulfanilamide is an antibacterial which contains a sulfonamide group.
(b)
Interpretation:
Usually sodium salt is used as the drug rather than the neutral compound; the reason behind this should be explained.
Concept introduction:
The formation of salt involves either a proton transfer or a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.
Drug solubility and dissolution rate greatly affect the absorption of drug.
The salt form of a drug is usually more soluble than the parent drug.

- Sorbitol is a sweetener often substituted for cane sugar, because it is better tolerated by diabetics. It is also an intermediate in the commercial synthesis of vitamin C. Sorbitol is prepared by high-pressure hydrogenation of glucose over a nickel catalyst. What is the structure (including stereochemistry) of sorbitol?arrow_forward25.4 Would you expect to find the highest concentration of each of the following in raw domestic wastewater or in the effluent from an aerobic biological waste treatment plant? Why? (a) Organic-N; (b) NH3-N; (c) NO₂-N; (d) NO3-N.arrow_forwardWhat special properties of transition metals make them especially useful in enzyme catalysis?arrow_forward
- Penicillin G is a natural antibiotic that is useful for treating infections caused by Gram positive bacteria. What is the functional benefit of the semi-synthetic antimicrobials carbenicillin and ampicillin, generated by chemical modification of the R group so their R groups each are a bit different than the R group seen with penicillin G?arrow_forwardName a naturally occurring carbohydrate and its source for each type of carbohydrate listed in Problem 20.83.arrow_forwardGentiobiose has the molecular formula C12H22O11 and has been isolated from gentian root and by hydrolysis of amygdalin. Gentiobiose exists in two different forms, one melting at 86°C and the other at 190°C. The lower melting form is dextrorotatory ([α] 16°), the higher melting one is levorotatory ([α] -6°). The rotation of an aqueous solution of either form, however, gradually changes until a final value of [α] 9.6° is observed. Hydrolysis of gentiobiose is efficiently catalyzed by emulsin and produces two moles of D-glucose per mole of gentiobiose. Gentiobiose forms an octamethylether, which on hydrolysis in dilute acid yields 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucose and 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose. What is the structure of gentiobiose?

Remember to state your reasoning in complete sentence.arrow_forwardStearidonic acid (C18H28O2) is an unsaturated fatty acid obtained from oils isolated from hemp and blackcurrant (see also Problem 10.11). a. What fatty acid is formed when stearidonic acid is hydrogenated with excess Hạ and a Pd catalyst? b. What fatty acids are formed when stearidonic acid is hydrogenated with one equivalent of Hz and a Pd catalyst? c. Draw the structure of a possible product formed when stearidonic acid is hydrogenated with one equivalent of H2 and a Pd catalyst, and one double OH stearidonic acid bond is isomerized to a trans isomer. d. How do the melting points of the following fatty acids compare: stearidonic acid; one of the products formed in part (b); the product drawn in part (c)?arrow_forwardI have an aqueous solution of tyrosinase but I require the solid form of tyrosinase. How would you process the aqueous solution to obtain the solid form?arrow_forward
