,Organic Chemistry, 8e (Wade)Chapter 1 Introduction and Review
1) While you were up late one night studying organic chemistry, you happened to see the last 5 minutes
of an infomercial on TV. The spokesperson claimed that their brand of automobile tires were superior to
all other brands on the market because they were made by using only natural rubber, isolated from the
resin of rubber trees. How could a chemist test her claims that no petroleum products went into the
manufacture of her brand of tires?
Answer: Compounds synthesized from petroleum products have a lower content of 14C. Plant-derived
compounds are recently synthesized from CO2 in the air and have a higher 14C content.
