Oxidation of glucose using Benedict's or Barfoed's reagent results in a mixture of compounds including a glycolic acid (2 carbons) and erythronic acid (4 carbons). Identify the carbon-carbon bond that is broken in glucose (shown below) to yield these two acids (following further oxidation) and draw "electron pushing arrows" to indicate the electron source and electron sink involved in breaking this bond OH OH HO `H OH OH
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
