(a)
Interpretation:
The number of trigonal planar carbon atoms quinine contains should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Quinine is an alkaloid found in the bark of the cinchona tree. It has strong antipyretic properties. Until recent times it was used as the only medication for malaria.
The hybridization of an atom can be determined by the steric number
Steric number = number of lone pairs + number of atoms bonded to the atom
If steric number = 4, hybridization is sp3, if its 3, sp2, if it is 2, hybridization is sp.
(b)
Interpretation:
Number of tetrahedral carbon atoms quinine contains should be determined.

- What type of hybridized orbital is present on carbon atoms bonded by a triple bond? How many of these hybrid orbitals are on each carbon atom?arrow_forwardWhy is the number of carbon atoms in a terpene always a multiple of the number 5?arrow_forwardAs you can see from Table 11.4, each CH2 group added to the carbon chain of an alkane increases its boiling point. This increase is greater going from CH4 to C2H6 and from C2H6 to C3H8 than it is going from C8H18 to C9H20 or from C9H20 to C10H22. What do you think is the reason for this differencearrow_forward
- What is the correct molecular structure for 1-cyclopropyl-3-ethyl-4-methyl hexane?arrow_forwardExplain why stearic acid has higher melting point than decanoic acid. Explain why salicylic acid has higher melting point than benzoic acid. Explain why benzoic acid has higher melting point than stearic acid. Explain why octane has a higher melting point than isooctane. Explain why 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane has the highest melting point among the three isomers of C8H18arrow_forwardWhat is the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon that has 1 triple bond, 2 double bonds, 1 ring, and 32 carbons?arrow_forward
