Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the lactose is a reducing sugar is to be stated using structural characteristics.

Concept introduction:

Monosaccharides are the small units of simple sugars. Polysaccharides are made up of small units of monosaccharides. The carbohydrates with free aldehyde or ketone groups can act as reducing sugars. Under basic conditions weak oxidizing agents such as Tollen’s reagent and Benedict’s solution oxidize the aldehyde or ketone group of the monosaccharide.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the sucrose is not a reducing sugar is to be stated using structural characteristics.

Concept introduction:

Monosaccharides are the small units of simple sugars. Polysaccharides are made up of small units of monosaccharides. The carbohydrates with free aldehyde or ketone groups can act as reducing sugars. Under basic conditions weak oxidizing agents such as Tollen’s reagent and Benedict’s solution oxidize the aldehyde or ketone group of the monosaccharide.

Using the Nernst equation to calculate nonstandard cell voltage Try Again Your answer is wrong. In addition to checking your math, check that you used the right data and DID NOT round any intermediate calculations. A galvanic cell at a temperature of 25.0 °C is powered by the following redox reaction: 2+ 2+ Sn²+ Ba(s) (aq) + Ba (s) Sn (s) + Ba²+ (aq) →>> Suppose the cell is prepared with 6.10 M Sn 2+ 2+ in one half-cell and 6.62 M Ba in the other. Calculate the cell voltage under these conditions. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. 1.71 V ☐ x10 ☑ 5 0/5 ? 00. 18 Ar
