. Many sugars undergo a process called mutarotation, in which the sugar molecules interconvert between two isomeric forms, finally reaching an equilibrium between them. This is true for the simple sugar glucose, C6H12O6, which exists in solution in isomeric forms called alpha-glucose and beta-glucose. If a solution of glucose at a certain temperature is analyzed, and it is found that the concentration of alpha-glucose is twice the concentration of beta-glucose, what is the value of K for the inter-conversion reaction?

Chemical Equilibrium II Magnesium hydroxide. Mg(OH)2, is a white, partially soluble solid that is used in many antacids. The chemical equation for the dissolving of Mg(OH)2(s) in water is Mg(OH)2(s)Mg2+(aq)+2OH(aq) a Describe a simple experimental procedure that you could use to study this solubility equilibrium. In your experiment, how would you determine when the solution process has attained equilibrium? b Write the equilibrium-constant expression for this dissolving of magnesium hydroxide. c Suppose equilibrium has been established in a container of magnesium hydroxide in water, and you decide to add more solid Mg(OH)2.

What effect will this addition of Mg(OH)2 have on the concentrations of Mg2+(aq) and OH(aq)? d Say you haw prepared an equilibrium solution of Mg(OH)2 by adding pure solid Mg(OH)2 to water.

How do you expect the concentration of the Mg2+(aq) to change? What might you be able to observe happening to the Mg(OH)2(s) as you add the OH? f Next you remove some, but not all, of the Mg(OH)2(s) from the mixture.
