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

Ionic bond is a chemical bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons between two atoms. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge (cation) and that which accepts electrons gains a negative charge (anion). Now, electronegativity is a parameter that measures the tendency of an atom to accept electrons. In the context of ionic bonding, two elements which show a significant difference in their electronegativity values form ionic bonds.

In the given examples, the difference in electronegativity is greatest between K  and Br i.e. 0.8 and 2.8 respectively with a difference of 2.0. This also makes sense since K and Br are on the extreme ends of the periodic table. Hence, potassium with a valence electron configuration of 4s1 will lose its s electron to Br (4s24p6) and form an ionic molecule K⁺Br⁻

Ans E) potassium and bromine

An unknown aqueous metal analysis yielded a detector response of 0.255. When 1.00 mL of a solution containing 100.0 ppm of the m
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1.022ppm is the unknown concentration of the metal

Explanation:

Based on Lambert-Beer law, the increasing in signal of a detector is directly proportional to its concentration.

The unknown concentration (X) produces a signal of 0.255

99mL * X + 1mL * 100ppm / 100mL produces a signal of 0.502

0.99X + 1ppm produce 0.502, thus, X is:

0.255 * (0.99X + 1 / 0.502) =

X = 0.503X + 0.508

0.497X = 0.508

X =

1.022ppm is the unknown concentration of the metal

Carbon -11 is a radioactive isotope of carbon. It’s half life is 20 minutes. What amount of the initial mass of 70.0g of C -11 a
dusya [7]

Answer:

4.38g

Explanation:

70.0/2 = 35g - 20 mins

35/2 = 17.5g - 40 mins

17.5/2 = 8.75g - 60 mins

8.75/2 = 4.375g - 80 mins

"a reaction was performed in which 0.57 g of 2-naphthol was reacted with a slight excess of 1-bromobutane to make 0.32 g of 2-bu
murzikaleks [220]
Convert 0.47g 2-naphthol to mols. mol = g/molar mass. 
Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols 2-naphthol to mols 2-butoxynaphthalene then you have to Convert mol 2-butoxynaphthalene to grams. g = mols x molar mass. This is the theoretical yield.
