Chapter 21, Problem 53P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of two five-membered-ring lactones are to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

The aldaric acid of D-glucose forms two five membered-ring lactones.

Aldaric acid, also known as saccharic acid is a poly hydroxy dicarboxylic acid that is formally produced by the oxidation of aldose at both terminals.  Aldaric acids are synthesized by the process of oxidation of aldose with nitric acid. These are also called sugar acids.

In these acids terminal hydroxyl and carbonyl groups of the sugars have been replaced by terminal carboxylic acids and are characterized by the formula COOH(CHOH)nCOOH.  Here, n is the number of carbon units present in the chain other than terminal carbons.

Lactones are cyclic compounds. These are formed by intramolecular esterification of the corresponding Saccharide units.

None
Carbohydrates- Draw out the Hawthorne structure for a sugar from the list given in class. Make sure to write out all atoms except for carbons within the ring. Make sure that groups off the carbons in the ring are in the correct orientation above or below the plane. Make sure that bonds are in the correct orientation. Include the full name of the sugar. You can draw out your curve within the text box or upload a drawing below.
How many milliliters of 97.5(±0.5) wt% H2SO4 with a density of 1.84(±0.01) g/mL will you need to prepare 2.000 L of 0.110 M H2SO4? If the uncertainty in delivering H2SO4 is ±0.01 mL, calculate the absolute uncertainty in the molarity (0.110 M). Assume there is negligible uncertainty in the formula mass of H2SO4 and in the final volume (2.000 L) and assume random error.
