The specific rotation of vitamin C ( using the D line of sodium, at 20°C) is +24. Predict what the observed rotation would be for a solution containing 0.100 g of vitamin C dissolved in 10.0 ml of ethanol and placed in a sample cell with a length of 1dm.
a. D-(+)-mannose is a diastereomer of glucose that is important in protein glycosylation. Find the Fischer projection of D-(+)-mannose in your textbook (Chapter 23), and draw it very clearly below. b. Draw a box around the chiral center furthest from the aldehyde/ketone. (This is the carbon which can be used to determine whether the carbohydrate is D- or L-.) c. Clearly label each of the chiral centers on D-(+)-mannose with its correct (R) or (S) configuration. d. D-(+)-mannose has two different Haworth projections-one that is a and one that is ß. Draw both Haworth projections for D-(+)-mannose, and label each as either a or B. e. In addition to Benedict's test, several other chemical tests can provide information about the type(s) of carbohydrate present in a given solution. These include Barfoed's test, Seliwanoff's test, and Bial's test. Use the internet to research what each test's possible results are, and what those results tell you about the carbohydrate's structure. Note: You…

a).Consider the Fischer projections of the following pair of stereoisomers. Name eachstructure in the pair according to IUPAC nomenclature, using appropriate R/S designation to show handedness. b).Draw the missing stereoisomer(s)in this set. Indicate the relationship (enantiomers or diastereomers) between every possible pairing of compounds. Circle a pair of compounds that, if present in equal amounts, will not show optical activity.

1. If life arose by “chemical evolution” (which is supposed to be new chemical compounds arising by random chance), what should be the proportion of each of the L- and D-enantiomers present in chiral compounds produced by random chance? How does this match with what we see in living systems? What conclusion can you make from this about the likelihood of life arising by “chemical evolution?" 2. Why does chirality make a difference when new medications are developed? What is an ethical way of addressing this concern in the development process? What is the connection with the way the body is designed?
An attempt at synthesizing a certain optically-active compound resulted in a mixture of its enantiomers. The mixture had an observed specific rotation of +14.2°. If it is known that the specific rotation of the R enantiomer is -31.0°, determine the percentage of each isomer in the mixture. R enantiomer: % S enantiomer: %
