Robert has pure samples of both D-ribose and D-arabinose, but he forgot to label them. He only has some nitric acid, the reagent

s for a Wohl degradation, and a polarimeter (an instrument for measuring optical activity) in his lab. In approximately 50 words or less, explain how Robert can determine which sample is which without using any additional resources. If it is not possible, clearly state so and explain why it is not possible in approximately 50 words or less.

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given question:

Explanation:

Since HN03 is an oxidation substance D-ribose u.ith oxidized to form in rubric acid Ribose is chiral, but rubric acid is achiral because of its symmetry mirror level, Hence no infrared roster in the sample holder is observed.

Please find the attached file.

D-Arabinose, on either hand, gives optical aldaric acid with such a net optical rotation observed inside the polarimeter for diagnosis with HN03.

How many moles of water are produced when 5 moles of hydrogen gas react with 2 moles of oxygen gas?
Marysya12 [62]

4 moles of water are produced

Explanation:

  • 4 moles of water are produced when 5 moles of hydrogen is reacted with 2 moles of oxygen gas
  • The balanced equation given is when 2 moles of hydrogen reacts with 1 mole of oxygen and it forms 2 moles of water.
  • The equation we have to solve is the 5 moles of hydrogen is reacting with 2 moles of oxygen gas, we can write the equation as 5H_{2} +2O_{2} -->  4H_{2} O + H_{2}
  • This is the balanced equation when 5 moles of hydrogen reacts with 2 moles of oxygen. The balanced equation means the number of hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms on both sides would be equal in number.
