Fructose and caproic acid are both molecules that contain a 6 carbon backbone. The melting point of fructose is 103°C and the melting point of caproic acid is 31.6°C. Explain why the melting points for the two molecules differ so drastically. The structures for these two molecules are provided below. CH,OH O он Fructose Caproic acid HỌ H CH,OH CH3(CH2)3CH2 HO.

A supersaturated solution of sucrose (C12H22O11) is madeby dissolving sucrose in hot water and slowly letting thesolution cool to room temperature. After a long time, theexcess sucrose crystallizes out of the solution. Indicatewhether each of the following statements is true or false:(a) After the excess sucrose has crystallized out, the remainingsolution is saturated.(b) After the excess sucrose has crystallized out, the systemis now unstable and is not in equilibrium.(c) After the excess sucrose has crystallized out, the rate ofsucrose molecules leaving the surface of the crystals tobe hydrated by water is equal to the rate of sucrose moleculesin water attaching to the surface of the crystals.
At the end of 2012, global population was about 7.0 billionpeople. What mass of glucose in kg would be needed toprovide 1500 Cal/person/day of nourishment to the globalpopulation for one year? Assume that glucose is metabolizedentirely to CO2(g) and H2O(l) according to the followingthermochemical equation:C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g)----->6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l)ΔH° = -2803 kJ
1. Identify the anomeric carbons on sucrose and explain how they are different from lactose and cellulose. 2. On Wikipedia (image pictures below) sucrose is labeled β-D-Fructofuranosyl α-D-glucopyranoside. But the anomeric carbon has the oxygen pointing down and other stereocenters inverted from that of fructose. Did Wikipedia incorrectly name it? Or can you explain why this is the case using structures of sucrose, fructose and glucose…
