In this problem, we want to compare the structures of lusine and isolucine in order to determine whether or not their fuel values are similar or different.
00:11
We're asked specifically in this problem whether we expect their fuel values to be exactly the same or not.
00:19
Fuel value is defined as the amount of energy that is released upon complete combustion of a given mass of a substance.
00:28
So therefore, if two structures have the same bond energies, then the energy that is released when these molecules are combusted should be identical.
00:41
Bond energies are defined by which types of bonds are present within a molecule and how many of them there are.
00:48
So if we compare the types of bonds in these molecules, we see that there are five different types of bonds in each one.
00:55
Carbon carbon, carbon hydrogen, c double bond o, nh, and oh.
01:01
If we go through and we start by counting the carbon carbons in each one, we see that there are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in lucene, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in isolucine.
01:20
Now, if we move on to the carbon hydrogen bonds, we see there are 3, 6, 7, 9, 10 in lucine, and 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and isolucine...
