A subrule of the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system specifies that higher mass number takes precedence over lower when distinguishing between isotopes. Determine the absolute configurations of the reactant and product in the biological oxidation of isotopically labeled ethane.

Agroup of students is studying convection currents. they fill two identical balloons with the same amount of helium. one balloon is placed in a freezer and the other in an area with warm air. after 10 minutes, the balloons are released from a height of 1 meter. which of the following do the students most likely observe? a. the balloons both rise. the cold balloon is larger than the warm balloon. b. the balloons rise at the same rate. both balloons are the same size. c. the warm balloon expands and rises. the cold balloon shrinks and sinks. d. the cold balloon expands and rises. the warm balloon shrinks and sinks.

For the following dehydrohalogenation (e2) reaction, draw the zaitsev product(s) resulting from elimination involving c3–c4 (i.e., the carbon atoms depicted with stereobonds). show the product stereochemistry clearly. if there is more than one organic product, both products may be drawn in the same box. ignore elimination involving c3 or c4 and any carbon atom other than c4 or c3.

Which of these would be caused by a chemical change? a) the formation of lava. b) sedimantary rock layering over time. c) metamorphic rock forming from igneous. d) metamorphic rock eroding to form sedimentary rock.
