(a)
Interpretation:
Whether erythrulose contains an aldehyde or ketone should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Compounds which contain carbonyl carbon bonded to hydrogen or carbon atom will be considered as
Aldehydes − at least one H atom bonded to the carbonyl group.
Ketones − has two alkyl groups bonded to the carbonyl group.

Answer to Problem 16.55P
Erythrulose contains a ketone group.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
In the stick and ball structure, C atoms are representing in black color, H atoms in white color and O atoms in red color.
Stick and ball structure can be simplified as below;
In erythrulose there is a carbonyl group that connects to two alkyl groups, thus, the erythrulose contains ketone.
(b)
Interpretation:
Hydroxyl groups in erythrulose should be classified as
Concept Introduction:
Alcohol- is an organic compound contains the group of

Answer to Problem 16.55P
Explanation of Solution
In the below stick and ball structure, C atoms are representing in black color, H atoms in white color and O atoms in red color.
Stick and ball structure can be simplified as below;
Bonds that are indicated in red color are the
Bond that is indicated in blue color is the one that binds to two carbon atoms which makes an
Therefore, OH groups in erythrulose can be assigned as below.
(c)
Interpretation:
The products should be identified by the reaction of erythrulose with Tollens reagent.
Concept Introduction:
Silver oxide in aqueous ammonium hydroxide reagent (

Answer to Problem 16.55P
No reaction.
Explanation of Solution
Addition of an O atom into a molecule is known as oxidation. If a carbonyl atom consists of a hydrogen atom directly connected to the carbonyl C, it will be oxidized in the presence of an oxidizing agent such as
(d)
Interpretation:
The products should be identified by the reaction of erythrulose with
Concept Introduction:
Addition of an O atom into a molecule is known as oxidation. If a carbonyl atom consists of a hydrogen atom directly connected to the carbonyl C, it will be oxidized in the presence of an oxidizing agent such as
But, OH groups will be oxidized into respective carboxylic acids, aldehydes or ketones.

Answer to Problem 16.55P
Explanation of Solution
In erythrulose molecule there are two primary alcohol groups and those groups will end up with a carboxylic acid and one secondary alcohol group in the erythrulose molecule will end up with a ketone by oxidation with

- 30. We will derive the forms of the molecular partition functions for atoms and molecules shortly in class, but the partition function that describes the translational and rotational motion of a homonuclear diatomic molecule is given by Itrans (V,T) = = 2πmkBT h² V grot (T) 4π²IKBT h² Where h is Planck's constant and I is molecular moment of inertia. The overall partition function is qmolec Qtrans qrot. Find the energy, enthalpy, entropy, and Helmholtz free energy for the translational and rotational modes of 1 mole of oxygen molecules and 1 mole of iodine molecules at 50 K and at 300 K and with a volume of 1 m³.
