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.

juin [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Iodine solution is used to test for starch.  A positive test for starch gives a blue-black color.

The fact that the color of the apple remained the same is indicative of the fact that starch was not contained in the apple.

A change in the color of potato indicates the presence of starch in the potato.

The fact that iodine did not react with apple should not be taken to mean that apples contain no starch at all. Starch changes gradually to sugar as fruits ripen. This is why the apple gave a negative test for starch.

Balance the following reaction. A coefficient of "1" is understood. Choose option "blank" for the correct answer if the
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

2NH₂ + O₂ → N₂ + 2H₂O

<u>Explanation:</u>

Balancing the equation means, the number of atoms on both sides of the equation must be the same.

In the case of the given equation, we have to find out whether it is balanced or not.

2NH₂ + O₂ →  N₂ + 2H₂O

Atoms       Number of atoms before balancing     after balancing

                 LHS                 RHS                                    LHS         RHS

N               1                        2                                            2              2

H               2                       2                                            4              4                        

O               2                       1                                            2                2

To balance the N atoms, we have to put 2 in front of NH₂, and then to balance the H, O atoms, we have to put 2 in front of H₂O, so that each atom in left hand as well as right hand side of the equation was balanced.

Using aluminium as an example, describe the key properties of p-block metals.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

P-block metals have classic metal characteristics like they are shiny, they are good conductors of heat and electricity, and they lose electrons easily. These metals have high melting points and readily react with nonmetals to form ionic compounds.
