Answer to Question 1


Answer to Question 2

4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone would result from an aldol reaction between two molecules of acetone. Ketones are less reactive electrophiles than aldehydes because of steric hindrance and inductive effects. In addition, there is a two-fold excess of aldehyde in this experiment so that very little of the aldol product from the reaction between two molecules of acetone is observed.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
