Imagine you were working as a laboratory technician and your principal investigator asked you to develop Benedict’s test into a quantitative measure of the concentration of reducing sugar in a solution. To do this, you would first need to decide what to measure and then establish the relationship between your measurements and different concentrations of reducing sugars. Explain generally what you would decide to measure and how you would go about determining the relationship of your measurements to the concentration of reducing sugar.
An unknown substance, X, was isolated from rabbit muscle. Its structure was determined from the following observations and experiments. Qualitative analysis showed that X was composed entirely of C, H, andO. A weighed sample of X was completely oxidized, and the H2O and CO2 produced were measured; this quantitative analysis revealed that X contained 40.00% C, 6.71% H, and 53.29% O by weight. The molecular mass of X, determined by mass spectrometry, was 90.00 u (atomic mass units; see Box 1-1). Infrared spectroscopy showed that X containedone double bond. X dissolved readily in water to give an acidic solution; the solution demonstrated optical activity when tested in a polarimeter.(a) Determine the empirical and molecular formula of X.(b) Draw the possible structures of X that fit the molecular formula and contain one double bond. Consider only linear or branched structures and disregard cyclic structures.Note that oxygen makes very poor bonds to itself.(c) What is the structural…
What mass of carbon dioxide is produced upon the complete combustion of 23.7 L of propane (the approximate contents of one 5-gallon tank)? Assume that the density of the liquid propane in the tank is 0.621 g/mL . (Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion reaction.)
