Chapter 20.4, Problem 8P

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of stereoisomers that are possible for ketoheptose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomers are the isomers having same molecular formula but they differ in the arrangement of molecules in space.  Enantiomers are the molecules that are non-superimposable on one another.

The number of possible stereoisomers is calculated as 2n where n is the number of asymmetric carbons present in a compound.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of stereoisomers that are possible for aldoheptose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomers are the isomers having same molecular formula but they differ from the arrangement of molecules in the space.  Enantiomers are the molecules that are non-superimposable on one another.

The number of possible stereoisomers is calculated as 2n where n is the number of asymmetric carbons present in a compound.

c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of stereoisomers that are possible for a ketotriose is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Stereoisomers are the isomers having same molecular formula but they differ from the arrangement of molecules in the space.  Enantiomers are the molecules that are non-superimposable on one another.

i need an answer pleaseeee
a. Classify this monosaccharide (e.g., aldotriose)b. Does it have the D or L configuration?  c. Which carbon and oxygen become bonded in the furanose ring form of this monosaccharide (e.g., C2O6, where O6 means the oxygen on carbon 6, or "not formed")? d. Which carbon and oxygen become bonded in the pyranose ring form of this monosaccharide e.g., C2O6 or "not formed"?
