Answer:

The glycosylation reaction or glycoside formation is an organic reaction in which the hemiacetal group of cyclists ketoses or aldoses turns into acetals, named glycosides. Reaction in the attached picture.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates can be found in an open-chain form or a cyclic form. For the second one, the carbonyl group of the aldehyde could react with the alcohol group of the molecule to form the cycle. As shown in the attached picture, the alcohol group of this cyclic form could react with an alcohol (like methanol) in acidic conditions to form an acetal. These compounds are stable at neutral and acidic conditions, but they hydrolyze at basic conditions. This reaction produces both acetals anomers (α and β) because the attack of the nucleophile (alcohol) could be from both sides. However, the most stable anomer will predominate.

How does the hydrosphere lithosphere atmosphere and biosphere work

umka21 [38]

They are all layers of the atmosphere that exist as separate layers but cooperate with each other. The hydrpsphere is the water part of the atmosphere such as oceans, sea, and lake's. The lithosphere is the under earth action that is happening where such things as faults, and volcanoes occur. The biosphere is where all life exist such as me, you, and animals.

Answer:

This flexible ability is important because it allows the cell to survive in differing environments, such as when immersed in water over long periods of time.

An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Complete combustion of a 2.77 g sample of the compound

alisha [4.7K]

The molecular formula of the unknown compound is determined as C₉H₁₁NO₂.

<h3>Molecular formula of the compound</h3>

The molecular formula is calculated as follows;

CHNO + O₂ ------------> CO₂ + H₂O

Mass of carbon, C: = (6.64 x 12)/44 = 1.81 g in 2.77 g sample

Mass of hydrogen, H: = (1.67 x 2)/18 = 0.186 g in 2.77 g sample

Mass of Nitrogen, N: = (2.77 x 0.143)/1.69 = 0.234 g

Mass of oxygen, O: = 2.77 g - 1.81 g - 0.186 g - 0.234 g = 0.54 g

<h3>molar ratio of the elements: </h3>

C = 1.81 g = 0.15 mol

H = 0.186 g = 0.186 mol

N = 0.234 g = 0.017 mol

O = 0.54 g = 0.0337 mol

divide through with the smallest number of moles (0.017 mol);

C = 9

H = 11

N = 1

O = 2

Molecular formula = C₉H₁₁NO₂

Check the molar mass of the compound = (9 x 12) + (11 x 1) + (14) + (2 x 16) = 165 g/mol

Thus, the molecular formula of the unknown compound is determined as C₉H₁₁NO₂.

Please explain how we judge the brightness of stars.

11111nata11111 [884]

Astronomers can measure it by way of luminosity which is the power of a star or the amount of energy (light) the star admits from its surface. they also measure the brightness of a start as if it were to appear 32.6 light years from Earth
