Glycogen is formed by the loss of water molecules along the length of the polymer chain as the glucose molecules are joined together.

<h3>How is glycogen formed?</h3>

Glycogen is formed by a process known as condensation polymerization. This involves the loss of -OH from one glucose molecule and the loss of H from another glucose molecule as the chain is formed.

Hence, glycogen is formed by the loss of water molecules along the length of the polymer chain as the glucose molecules are joined together.

The illustration would be that of a double replacement reaction.

<h3>What are double replacement reactions?</h3>

They are reactions in which 2 ionic compounds exchange ions to form two new products.

Thus, in the reaction: ab + cd ----------> ad + cb

ab and cd are two ionic compounds. The b in ab is replaced by the d in cd while the d in cd itself is replaced by the b in ab. Hence, new products, ad and cd, are formed.

Which is the limiting reactant if we start with 30.0 g Al and 30.0 h O2

lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation:

The limiting reactant will be Al:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction.

Given parameters:

Mass of Al = 30g Molar mass = 27g/mol
