Answer:
Mutarotation refers to the change in the optical rotation or optical activity of a solution due to the change in the equilibrium of the two anomers. It depends upon the optical activity and ratio of the anomeric forms in the solution.
To measure the optical rotation of a given solution, a polarimeter can be used and thus the ratio of the anomeric forms can be calculated.
Answer: Boyle's Law
-----
Boyle's Law is the pressure-volume law and it relates pressure and volume at constant temperature. Boyle's law states that pressure and volume vary inversely, meaning that as one goes up, the other one goes down.
Answer:
K = Ka/Kb
Explanation:
P(s) + (3/2) Cl₂(g) <-------> PCl₃(g) K = ?
P(s) + (5/2) Cl₂(g) <--------> PCl₅(g) Ka
PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) <---------> PCl₅(g) Kb
K = [PCl₃]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)
Ka = [PCl₅]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)
Kb = [PCl₅]/ ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])
Since [PCl₅] = [PCl₅]
From the Ka equation,
[PCl₅] = Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)
From the Kb equation
[PCl₅] = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])
Equating them
Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾) = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])
(Ka/Kb) = ([PCl₃] [Cl₂]) / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)
(Ka/Kb) = [PCl₃] / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)
Comparing this with the equation for the overall equilibrium constant
K = Ka/Kb
