Answer:

The answer is E. All of the statements describe the anomeric carbon.

Explanation:

When a sugar switches from its open form to its ring form, the carbon from the carbonyl (aldehyde if it is an aldose, or a ketone in the case of a ketose) suffers a nucleophilic addition by one of the hydroxyls in the chain, preferably one that will form a 5 or 6 membered ring after the reaction.

As such, the anomeric carbon will have two oxygens attached (The original one and the one that bonded when the ring closed).

It will be chiral, given that it has 4 different groups attached. (-OR,-OH,-H and -R, where R is the carbon chain).

The hydroxyl group can be in any position (Above of below the ring), depending on with side the addition took place. (See attachment)

It is the carbon of the carbonyl in the open-chain form of the sugar, because it is the only one that can react with the Hydroxyls.

If you have 5.42 x 1024 aluminum atoms, approximately how many moles is that
sattari [20]

Answer:

<h2>9.00 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{5.42 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} }  \\  = 9.0033

We have the final answer as

<h3>9.00 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you
