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…

The tablets can be dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid to dissolve the Fe2+ ions. To determine the percentage by mass of iron within the tablets, the Fe2+ ions can be oxidised to Fe3+ using potassium permanganate, where MnO4− is reduced to Mn2+. Calculate the percentage by mass of iron in a 500 mg tablet that requires 24.53 cm3 of 0.0100 mol dm−3 KMnO4 to titrate the iron sample. State your answer to 3 significant figures.
