- Catalytic cracking is an industrial process used to convert high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons to low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons. A petroleum company has a huge supply of heating oil stored as straight-chain C17H36, and demand has picked up for shorter chain hydrocarbons to be used in formulating gasoline. The company uses catalytic cracking to create the shorter chains necessary for gasoline. If they produce two molecules in the cracking, and 1-octene is one of them, what is the formula of the other molecule produced? As part of your answer, draw the condensed structural formula of the 1-octene.arrow_forwardAmylose (a form of starch) and cellulose are both polymers of glucose. What is the main structural difference between them? What roles do these two polymers have in nature?arrow_forwardA long polymer chain, such as polyethylene ( -CH2CH2- )n, can potentially exist in solution as a chiral object. Give two examples of chiral structures that a polyethylene chain could adopt.arrow_forward
- Explain 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_forward1. Explain the following - why stearic acid has higher melting point than decanoic acid. - why benzoic acid has higher melting point than stearic acid. - why salicylic acid has higher melting point than benzoic acid. - why octane has a higher melting point than isooctane. - why 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane has the highest melting point among the three isomers of C8H18.arrow_forwardButylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a common preservativeadded to cereals and other dry foods. Its systematic name is 1-hydroxy-2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylbenzene (where “tert-butyl”is 1,1-dimethylethyl). Draw the structure of BHT.arrow_forward
