Answer:

b) 49.48% C, 5.19% H, 28.85% N, and 16.48% O

Explanation:

we find the mass for each element in one mole by multiplying the number of atoms in one molecule with the atomic mass

mC=8Ac=8*12=96g

mH=10AH=10*1=10g

mN=4AN=4*14=56g

mO=2AO=2*16=32g

by adding the masses together we find the molar mass of the molecule

M=mC+nH+mN+mO=96+10+56+32=194g/mole

we apply the rule of threes to find the percentage of each element

194g..96gC..10gH...56gN....32gO

100g....a...........b...........c.............d

a=(100*96)/194=49.48%C

b=(100*10)/194=5.19%H

c=(100*56)/194=28.85%N

d=(100*32)/194=16.48%O

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

Sauron [17]

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.
