Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The stereocenters in glucose molecule should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Glucose is the simplest monosaccharide with molecular formula C6 H12 O6. It can exist as open chain structure and also as Haworth’s projection. Enantiomers are the optically active stereoisomers which are non-super imposable mirror images of each other. Diastereomers are also stereoisomers which have two or more stereocenters but not mirror image of each other.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of stereoisomers in glucose molecule should be determined.

- The number of microstates corresponding to each macrostate is given by N. The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?arrow_forwardFor the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forwardHow many grams of C are combined with 3.75 ✕ 1023 atoms of H in the compound C5H12?arrow_forward
