5. Glycogen and starch both give a (+) test with I2-KI and a (-) test with Benedict's. If you hydrolyzed these two polysaccharid

es and tested the solutions with the same two reagents what results would you get? Explain these results.

Answer:

There will be no reaction between the product of hydrolysis and I2-KI (-ve). When the product of hydrolysis is tested with Benedict reagent, a brick-red precipitate is observed.

Explanation:

Benedict's reagent as a chemical reagent is a mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. It is often used in place of Fehling's solution to detect the presence of reducing sugars. A positive test with Benedict's reagent is shown by a color change from clear blue to a brick-red precipitate.

Glycogen and starch are both complex structures containing repeating units of glucose(a reducing sugar). The polysaccharides have non redusing ends and so cannot react with benedict reagent.

When they are hydrolysed, glucose which is a reducing sugar can then test positive with Benedict reagent.

2) Of the following, which has the shortest de Broglie wavelength? A) an airplane moving at a velocity of 300 mph B) a helium nu
8090 [49]

Answer:

B) a helium nucleus moving at a velocity of 1000 mph

Explanation:

According to the De Broglie relation

λ= h/mv

h= planks constant

m= mass of the body

v= velocity of the body.

As we can see from De Broglie's relation, the wavelength of matter waves depends on its mass and velocity. Hence, a very small mass moving at a very high velocity will have the greatest De Broglie wavelength.

Of all the options given, helium is the smallest matter. A velocity of 1000mph is quite high hence it will have the greatest De Broglie wavelength.

Identify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid.

Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.

Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension.

Explanation:

Surface tension is the force that stretches the liquid surface. This force acts normal to the surface. It is the downward force that acts on the surface of the liquids which is due to the cohesive forces of the liquids.

The water molecules are bonded by a strong hydrogen bond force which is between hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom. At the surface the water molecules are attracted strongly by other water molecules which lies below the surface and are stretched at the surface. Thus the water molecules at the surface acts differently than in the bulk liquid.

Mercury have a strong cohesive force than the water and have a higher surface tension force than the water.

Surface water acquires minimum surface area, hence acquiring spherical shape of water.

Which of the following atoms would have the longest de Broglie wavelength, if all have the same velocity?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Li

Explanation:

The phenomenon of wave particle duality was well established by Louis deBroglie. The wavelength associated with matter waves was related to its mass and velocity as shown below;

λ= h/mv

Where;

λ= wavelength of matter waves

m= mass of the particle

v= velocity of the particle

This implies that if the velocities of all particles are the same, the wavelength of matter waves will now depend on the mass of the particle. Hence; the wavelength of a matter wave associated with a particle is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the particle's linear momentum. The longest wavelength will then be obtained from the smallest mass of matter. Hence lithium which has the smallest mass will exhibit the longest DeBroglie wavelength

The specific rotation of (R) carvone is (+) 61°. The optical rotation of a sample of a mixture of R &S carvone is measured a
shusha [124]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

% optical purity = specific rotation of mixture/specific rotation of pure enantiomer  * 100/1

specific rotation of mixture = 23°

specific rotation of pure enantiomer = 61°

Hence;

% optical purity = 23/61 * 100 = 38 %

More abundant enantiomer = 100% - 38 % = 62%

Hence the pure  (S) carvone is (-) 62° is the more abundant enantiomer.

Enantiomeric excess = 62 - 50/50 * 100 = 24%

Hence

(R) - carvone  =  38 %

(S) - carvone = 62%
