Why is the molecular formula for a disaccharide not double that of a monosaccharide?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]4 years ago
3 0
The reason the molecular formula for a disaccharide is not simply double that of a monosaccharide is because when the covalent bond is formed between the carbons of each sugar, an H of one is removed along with an OH from the other. This resulting loss of an H + OH forms H2O (water), therefore the reaction combining the two sugars covalently is called a "dehydration synthesis."
For example, in combining 2 glucose (C6H12O6) molecules, instead of it being 2 × C6H12O6 = C12H24O12, the dehydration synthesis removes 1 H2O to make room for the C-C covalent bond between the two sugars' carbons. Therefore it is 2 H's and 1 O less than that doubling, or: C12H22O11

A student prepares a lactic acid-sodium lactate buffer solution by mixing 40.mL of 0.50MHC3H5O3(aq) with 200.mL of 1.0M NaC3H5O3
notsponge [240]

Answer:

pH=3.38

Explanation:

We are given the concentrations of the weak acid and its conjugate base so we need to use the henderson hasslebalch equation

pH=pKa + log (concentration A-/concentration of HA)

A- : conjugate base NaC3H5O3

HA: weak acid HC3H5O3

so if we plug in what we are given

pH= 3.08 + log (1M/.5M)

pH= 3.38

What is the concentration of hydronium ion in a 0.121 M HCl solution?
kogti [31]

Answer:

C) 0.121 M

Explanation:

HCl + H₂O = H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

.121M              .121M

HCl is a strong acid . It will dissociate almost 100 % so the concentration of acid and hydronium ion formed will be equal . It is to be noted that hydronium ion is formed due to association of H⁺ and H₂O . H⁺ is formed due to ionisation of HCl .

So concentrtion of hydronium ion ( H₃O⁺ ) will be .121 M.

Tides describe the regular rising and falling of ocean water. Tides are caused by
user100 [1]

Tides are the rise and fall of the oceans. They are caused by the gravity, or pull, of the Moon and Sun. The Moon's gravity is the main force in causing tides. It makes the oceans bulge out toward it. Another bulge occurs on the opposite side, because Earth is being pulled toward the Moon and away from the water. The water on the side farthest away from the Moon is least affected by its gravity.

Which profile best describes the reaction C(s) + 2H2(g) → CH4(g),<br> AH = -74.9 kJ?
katrin [286]

Answer:

Option B. A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

C(s) + 2H₂ (g) —> CH₄ (g). ΔH = –74.9 kJ

From the reaction above, we can see that the enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative (i.e –74.9 KJ) which implies that the heat content of the reactants is greater than the heat content of the products. Thus, the reaction is exothermic reaction.

For an exothermic reaction, the energy profile diagram is drawn in such a way that the heat content of reactants is higher than the heat content of products because the enthalpy change

(ΔH) is always negative.

Thus, diagram A (i.e option B) gives the correct answer to the question.
