Chapter 8, Problem 1E

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of stereoisomers possible for a ketopentose.

Concept introduction:

Stereoisomers are the pair of compounds which have the same atom and same chemical formula, but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms. One of the pairs of stereoisomers is known as epimer.

(a)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 1E

Correct answer: The number of stereoisomers possible for a ketopentose is 4.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the number of stereoisomers in a given carbohydrate is 2n, where n= number of chiral carbons.

The ketopentose contains two chiral atoms. Therefore, the number of stereoisomers will be 22 = 4.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of stereoisomers possible for a ketohexose.

Concept introduction:

Stereoisomers are the pair of compounds which have the same atom and same chemical formula, but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms. One of the pairs of stereoisomers is known as an epimer.

Answer to Problem 1E

Correct answer: The number of stereoisomers possible for a ketohexose is 8.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the number of stereoisomers in a given carbohydrate is 2n, where n= number of chiral carbons.

The ketohexose contains three chiral atoms. Therefore, the number of stereoisomers will be 23 = 8.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The number of stereoisomers possible for a ketoheptose.

Concept introduction:

Stereoisomers refer to the pair of compounds which have the same atom and same chemical formula, but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms. One of the pairs of stereoisomers is known as epimer.

Answer to Problem 1E

Correct answer: The number of stereoisomers possible for a ketoheptose is 16.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the number of stereoisomers in a given carbohydrate is 2n, where, n= number of chiral carbons.

The ketoheptose contains four chiral atoms. Therefore, the number of stereoisomers will be 24 = 16.

2. For the flow of fluid over a flat membrane of length 10cm, determine the length-average mass transfer coefficient. The relevant properties of the system are u=0.01cm²/s, D=5 x 106 cm²/s, and v = 5.0 cm/s.
Background Freezing isn't the only challenge in cryopreservation - thawing can be just as difficult. A microwave oven seems like a nice solution, since it deposits energy quickly and microwaves are non-ionizing radiation (they do not cause DNA mutation). However, water absorbs microwaves more effectively than ice does, meaning that the portion of an organ that has already melted will get warmer at a higher rate than the remaining ice – the opposite of what we want! - The transmission of radiation through a weakly absorbing material such as ice or water can be modeled by Beer's law, which assumes that the rate of absorption at a depth x is proportional to the local radiation intensity I(x) times an absorption coefficient, which is often written as μ or a or just µ). Noting that absorption decreases the intensity, we can write a differential equation a Solving the differential equation with the boundary condition on the surface being gives the relationship For a standard microwave oven…
