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.

How do you decide whether an observed property of matter is a physical or a chemical property?
Otrada [13]
By the object's composition and the acting agent to which factors the change of the substance or entity.
<span>The effect of physical property of matter on the object or substance can be better identified when the object doesn't change in composition or in nature. Unlike chemical property which has changed in its composition and atomic structure that was caused by chemical change or reaction due to an agent. Physical property is identified thru physical reactions or changes that has never changed the object in an atomic level, like cutting paper into smaller sizes. The aforementioned example illustrates physical proerty but being cut into smaller buts without changing the object from paper to any other substance, thus, its structure remain and its still called paper regardless of size, mass and texture. <span>

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 0.400 mol HCI in 9.79 L solutions ​
USPshnik [31]

Molarity's formula is known as: Molarity(M)=moles of solute/liters solution.

In this case we are already given moles and liters so you just have to plug the numbers into the equation.

0.400 mol HCL/9.79L solution=0.040858M

If you were to use scientific notation, the answer will be: 4.1*10^-2, but otherwise, you can just use the decimals above and round appropriately as you see fit.

Find the velocity of a swimmer who swims exactly 220 m toward the shore in 72 s.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: 3.06m/s

Explanation:

Distance covered by swimmer = 220 m

Time taken by swimmer = 72 s.

Velocity = ?

Recall that velocity is the rate of change of distance per unit time. it is measured in metres per second.

Velocity = Distance / time taken

Velocity = 220m / 72seconds

Velocity = 3.055 m/s (approximate to 3.06m/s)
