Write the structure of a D-aldohexose that gives a meso compound on treatment with NaBH4 in water.

Chemistry

7 0

Explanation:

Meso compounds are optically inactive stereoisomers. Despite of having chiral carbon, they do not show  optical activity because it has a plane of symmetry in its structure itself. It is superposable on its mirror image.

Aldo sugars on reaction which reducing agents such as , NaBH₄ reduces the carbonyl group in the sugar to alcohol and gives corresponding alditol.

<u>The D- aldohexose which on reduction gives a meso alditol are allose and galactose. </u>

<u>The structure is shown in the image below. Thus, in allitol and galactitol formed have internal plane of symmetry which makes the optically inactive.</u>

State with reasons, whether sulphur dioxide is acting as an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent in each of the following reactio
evablogger [386]

Answer:

A) oxidizing agent is SO2

B) NaClO is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

A) This is a redox reaction in which oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously.

Thus, in 2H2S(g) + SO2(g) -> 2H2O(l) + 3S(s);

H2S is reduced as follows;

H2S → S + 2H+ + 2e−

We can see that SO2 has been reduced while H2S gets oxidized since it has changed state from - 2 to 0 . Thus sulphur dioxide is the oxidizing agent.

B) SO2(g) + H2O(l) + NaClO(aq) -> NaCl(aq) + H2SO4(aq)

In this, SO2 undergoes oxidation and NaClO is the oxidizing agent

How many atoms are in 3.5 moles of arsenic atoms?
solmaris [256]

Answer:

2.107×10²⁴

Explanation:

no of moles=no of particles/Avogadro's number

3.5=X/6.02×10²³

by cross multiplication

3.5×6.02×10²³

=2.107 ×10²⁴

If the mass of a sample of Mg is 0.500 g and is placed in 100.0 g of HCl, the heat gained is 546.5 J. What is the change in temp
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

1.36 K

Explanation:

We have the following data:

The heat gained by HCl is calculated as:

heat = m x Sh x ΔT

where m is the mass of HCl (100.0 g), Sh is the specific heat of HCl (4.017 J/K.g) and ΔT is the change in temperature. We introduce the data in the mathematical expression to calculate ΔT as follows:

ΔT = heat/(m x Sh) = 546.5 J/(100.0 g x 4.017 J/K.g) = 1.36 K

Therefore, the change in temperature is 1.36 K.

Compare heat vs. temperature
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

See the answer beloew, please.

Explanation:

The concepts of heat and temperature are related, but they are not the same. Temperature refers to a physical quantity which indicates the amount of heat. The latter corresponds to the energy that moves from one body to another, thus being able to raise or lower the temperature.
