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.

Combustion analysis of a 13.42-g sample of the unknown organic compound (which contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) produ
pentagon [3]

Answer: molecular formula = C12H16O8

Explanation:

NB Mm CO2= 44g/mol

Mm H2O= 18g/mol

Moles of CO2 = 36.86/44=0.84mol

0.84mole of CO2 has 0.84 mol of C

Moles of H2O = 10.06/18= 0.56mol

1mol of H20 contains 1mol of O and 2 mol H,

Hence there are 0.56mol O and (0.56×2)mol H

Hence the compound contains

C= 0.84 mol H= 1.12mol O=0.56mol

Divide through by smallest number

C= 0.83/0.56= 1.5mol

H= 1.12/0.55= 2mol

O= 0.56/0.56= 1mol

Multiply all by 2 to have whole number of moles = 3:4:2

Hence empirical formula= C3H4O2

(C3H4O2)n = 288.38

[(12×3) + 4+(16×2)]n= 288.38

72n=288.38

n= 4

:. Molecular formula=(C3H4O2)4= C12H16O8

For Na2HPO4:(( (Note that for H3PO4, ka1= 6.9x10-3, ka2 = 6.4x10-8, ka3 = 4.8x10-13 ) a) The active anion is H2PO4- b) The activ
Komok [63]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Answer – Given, H_3PO_4 acid and there are three Ka values

K_{a1}=6.9x10^8, K_{a2} = 6.2X10^8, and K_{a3}=4.8X10^{13}

The transformation of H_2PO_4- (aq) to HPO_4^2-(aq)is the second dissociation, so we need to use the Ka2 = 6.2x10-8 in the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

Mass of KH2PO4 = 22.0 g , mass of Na2HPO4 = 32.0 g , volume = 1.00 L

First we need to calculate moles of each

Moles of KH2PO4 = 22.0 g / 136.08 g.mol-1

                             = 0.162 moles

Moles of Na2HPO4 = 32.0 g /141.96 g.mol-1

                             = 0.225 moles

[H2PO4-] = 0.162 moles / 1.00 L = 0.162 M

[HPO42-] = 0.225 moles / 1.00 L = 0.225 M

Now we need to calculate the pKa2

pKa2 = -log Ka

       = -log 6.2x10-8

       = 7.21

We know Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log [conjugate base] / [acid]

pH = 7.21 + log 0.225 / 0.162

     = 7.35

The pH of a buffer solution obtained by dissolving 22.0 g of KH2PO4 and 32.0 g of Na2HPO4 in water and then diluting to 1.00 L is 7.35
