Suggest a possible mechanism for the acid catalyzed reaction of a typical ketohexose to give 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Brut [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Taking the acid catalysed hydrolysis of fructose C6H12O6, the mechanism begins with the protonation of an -OH group as shown.

This is now followed by dehydration and formation of a keto-enol tautomer. The keto form is now dehydrated followed by the protonation of a second -OH group.

A second dehydration followed by deprotonation leads to the formation of  5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

What volume in litres will 38gr of F2 occupy at 0.999 bar and 273 K
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

V=22.68L

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we use the ideal gas equation to compute the volume as shown below:

PV=nRT\\\\V=\frac{nRT}{P}

Nonetheless we are given mass, for that reason we must compute the moles of gaseous fluorine (molar mass: 38 g/mol) as shown below:

n=38 g *\frac{x}{y}  \frac{1mol}{38 g} =1mol

Thus, we compute the volume with the proper ideal gas constant, R:

V=\frac{1mol*0.083\frac{bar*L}{mol*K}*273K}{0.999bar} \\\\V=22.68L

Best regards.

What component of amino acid structure varies among different amino acids?
givi [52]

Answer

The components of the r group of amino acid structure varies among different amino acids

Explanation  

As the functional group for amino acids is as:  

R-CH-COOH  

 I  

NH2  

only R differs so amino acids also differs. If R is “H” then amino acid is glycine and if R is “CH3” then amino acid is alanine. Hence, R is different for different amino acids. Other components as alpha carbon ( C ), carboxyl group ( COOH ) and amino group ( NH2 ) is fixed for every amino acid.

How can the speed of solvent molecules be slowed down?
Darina [25.2K]

Explanation:

The speed of molecules increases when temperature is increased as it will result in more number of collisions between the molecules. Thus, there will be  increase in kinetic energy of molecules and increase in the speed of solvent molecules.

Whereas on decreasing the temperature, the kinetic energy of molecules will decrease. This will result in less number of collisions between the molecules. Therefore, the speed of solvent molecules will slow down.
