Explanation:

Aldonic Acid:

Aldonic acids are suger acids.

General formula of aldonic acid = $HOOC-(CHOH)_n-CH_2OH$

Aldonic acids are obtained by the oxidation of aldehydic group of suger.

So, aldonic acids have hydroxyl group at one terminal and carboxylic group at another terminal.

Gluconic acid is an example of aldonic acid.

Uronic Acid:

It is also a type of suger acid having carbonyl functional group at one terminal and carboxylic group at other terminal.

It is obtained by oxidation of hydroxyl group of the sugar.

Aldaric Acid:

Aldaric acid is also a type of sugar acid having carboxylic acid functional group at both the ends.

Both the hydroxyl group and aldehydic group are oxidized to form class of compound, called aldaric acid.

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

The mole balance for a constant-volume batch reactor is given such as, For a first-order isothermal reaction, the time to reach a given conversion is the same for constant-pressure and constant-volume reactors. Also, the time is the same for a reaction of any order if there is no change in the number of moles.

Sodium thiosulfate, na2s2o3, is used as a "fixer" in black and white photography. identify the reducing agent in the reaction of

aev [14]

Answer is: reducin agent in this reaction is thiosulfate (S₂O₃²⁻).
Balanced chemical reaction: 2S₂O₃²⁻(aq) + I₂(aq) → S₄O₆²⁻(aq) + 2I⁻(aq).
Reducing agent is element or compound who loose electrons in chemical reaction. Sulfur in thiosulfate change oxidation number from +2 to +5 tetrathionate anion (two sulfur atoms in the ion have oxidation state 0 and two atoms have oxidation state +5).

Some type of path is necessary to join both half-cells in order for electron flow to occur.

klemol [59]

The given statement, some type of path is necessary to join both half-cells in order for electron flow to occur, is true.

Explanation:

Flow of electrons is possible with the help of a conducting medium like metal wire.

A laboratory device which helps in completion of oxidation and reduction-half reactions of a galvanic or voltaic cell is known as salt bridge. Basically, this salt bridge helps in the flow of electrons from anode to cathode and vice-versa.

If salt bridge is not present in an electrochemical cell, the electron neutrality will not be maintained and hence, flow of electrons will not take place.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement some type of path is necessary to join both half-cells in order for electron flow to occur, is true.
