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.

Which set of numbers gives the correct possible values of l for n = 2
Paha777 [63]
HEY THERE!!

For a given principal quantum number or n, the corresponding angular quantum number or l is equivalent to a range between 0 and (n-1) .

This means that the angular quantum number for a principal quantum number of 2 is equivalent to:

l = 0 -> (n-1) = 0 -> (2-1) = 0 -> 1

So the answer is 0, 1

Caculate the number if moles of the following: 800. g of Ca
Maru [420]
Mole   is  equal  to   mass  of  the  element  divided  by   molar  mass  of  the  element.  that   is
mole=mass/molar  mass
From  periodic  table calcium  has  a   molar  mass  of  40   g/mol
moles  is   therefore  =800g/40g/mol=20moles

If an acid/base dissociates completely in water what type of substance is it? Does this mean the acid/base is dangerous?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

1 strong acid

2 yes they are dangerous

Explanation:

Since nearly all of it is dissociated in water, it is called a strong acid.

2 yes Concentrated strong acids can cause severe and painful burns. The pain is due in part to the formation of a protein layer, which resists further penetration of the acid

The atomic weight of this radioactive element is equal to the produc of 7 and 14
earnstyle [38]

Answer: Krypton

Explanation:

7(14)=84

Krypton, if you look at the periodic table, has an atomic mass of approximately 84. It has a large nucleus, so while it is stable (due to its full octet) the nucleus is probably unstable due to repulsive forces between protons in the nucleus so is probably radioactive.
