Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Among the given characterizations, the one that applies to both starch and cellulose has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The
(b)
Interpretation: Among the given characterizations, the one that applies to both glycogen and amylopectin has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The polymer which is formed by the combination of several monosaccharides is called a polysaccharide. These monosaccharides can be same, called as homopolysaccharide or different called as heteropolysaccharides. A molecule with a straight chain is called unbranched polysaccharide and that with a branched chain is called as branched polysaccharide.
(c)
Interpretation: Among the given characterizations, the one that applies to both amylose and chitin has to be stated.

- Using iodometry I want to titrate a sodium thiosulfate solution and I use 15 mL. If I have 50 mL of a 0.90 M copper solution and KI, what will be the molarity of sodium thiosulfate?arrow_forwardDraw the product formed when the following pair of compounds is treated with NaOEt in ethanol. + i CNarrow_forwardI need help with the followingarrow_forward
- I need help with the followingarrow_forwardFor Raman spectroscopy/imaging, which statement is not true regarding its disadvantages? a) Limited spatial resolution. b) Short integration time. c) A one-dimensional technique. d) Weak signal, only 1 in 108 incident photons is Raman scattered. e) Fluorescence interference.arrow_forwardUsing a cell of known pathlength b = 1.25115 x 10-3 cm, a water absorption spectrum was measured. The band at 1645 cm-1, assigned to the O-H bending, showed an absorbance, A, of 1.40. a) Assuming that water density is 1.00 g/mL, calculate the water molar concentration c (hint: M= mole/L) b) Calculate the molar absorptivity, a, of the 1645 cm-1 band c) The transmitted light, I, can be written as I= Ioexp(-xb), where x is the absorption coefficient (sometimes designated as alpha), Io is the input light, and b is the cell pathlength. Prove that x= (ln10)*x*c. (Please provide a full derivation of the equation for x from the equation for I). d) Calculate x for the 1645 cm-1 bandarrow_forward
