Define "Homoglycan" and "Heteroglycan" and give an example of each

Chemistry
1 answer:
lina2011 [118]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Polysaccharides, also known as glycans, are the polymers of carbohydrate. These polymers are composed of the monosaccharide monomeric units that are joined together by glycosidic bonds.  

A polysaccharide molecule composed of the same type of monosaccharide units is known as homopolysaccharide or homoglycan.

Example: Cellulose, glycogen, and cellulose.

Whereas, a polysaccharide molecule composed of more than type of monosaccharide is known as heteropolysaccharides or heteroglycans.

Examples: Hyaluronic acid and heparin

Ammonium phosphate nh43po4 is an important ingredient in many fertilizers. it can be made by reacting phosphoric acid h3po4 with
Tom [10]
The reaction between phosphoric acid and ammonia that produces ammonium phosphate can be written as follows:
3NH3 + H3PO4 ..................> (NH4)3PO4

From the periodic table:
molar mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
molar mass of hydrogen = 1 grams
molar mass of oxygen = 16 grams
molar mass of phosphorus = 30.9 grams

based on this:
molar mass of 3NH3 = 3 (14 + 3(1)) = 51 grams
molar mass of H3PO4 = 3(1) + 30.9 + 4(16) = 97.9 grams
molar mass of  (NH4)3PO4 = 3 (14 + 4(1)) + 30.9 + 4(16) = 54 + 30.9 + 64
                                            = 148.9 grams

Therefore, 97.9 grams of phosphoric acid is required to produced 148.9 grams of ammonium phosphate.
Thus, to know the mass of ammonium phosphate produced from 4.9 grams of phosphoric acid, we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:
amount of produced ammonium phosphate = (4.9 x 148.9) / 97.9 = 7.45 g

"what is the mole fraction of solute in a 3.87 m aqueous solution?"
sattari [20]

The mole fraction of solute in a 3.87 m aqueous solution is 0.0697

<h3> calculation</h3>

molality = moles of the solute/Kg of the solvent

3.87 m dissolve in 1 Kg of water= 1000g

find the moles of water= mass/molar mass

that is 1000 g/ 18 g/mol= 55.56 moles

mole of solute = 3.87 moles

mole fraction is = moles of solute/moles of solvent

that is 3.87/ 55.56 = 0.0697

Which of the following solutions is a good buffer system?A solution that is 0.10 M HCN and 0.10 M NaClA solution that is 0.10 M
patriot [66]

Answer:

A solution that is 0.10 M HCN and 0.10 M LiCN

Explanation:

  • A good buffer system contains a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and its salt.
  • In this case; A solution that is 0.10 M HCN and 0.10 M LiCN, would make a good buffer system.
  • HCN is a weak acid, while LiCN is a salt of the weak acid, that is, CN- conjugate of the acid.
