Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of D-glucose using dash-wedge notation, after the given indicated rotation has taken place, is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Dash-wedge notations are used to represent the three dimensional molecular geometry; a wedge line represents the bond pointing towards the observer whereas a dash line represents the bond pointing away from the observer. The bonds that are in plane are represented by a straight line. A
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of D-glucose using dash-wedge notation, after the given indicated rotation has taken place, is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Dash-wedge notations are used to represent the three dimensional molecular geometry; a wedge line represents the bond pointing towards the observer whereas a dash line represents the bond pointing away from the observer. The straight line represents that the bond is in the plane of paper.

- Mannose exists in aqueous solution as a mixture of a-d-mannopyranose and b-d-mannopyranose. Draw Haworth projections for these molecules.arrow_forwardWhen a crystalline sample of α-glucopyranose is dissolved in water and the specific rotation is measured immediately, the observed rotation is +112°. When the same amount of βglucopyranose is dissolved, the observed rotation is +18.7°. However, over time, at room temperature, both solutions reach a specific rotation of +52.7°. Explain why these two solutions reach the same specific rotation over time.arrow_forwardThe specific rotation of α-d-galactose is 150.7 and that of β-d-galactose is 52.8. When an aqueous mixture that was initially 70% α-d-galactose and 30%β-d-galactose reaches equilibrium, the specific rotation is 80.2. What is the percentage of α-d-galactose and β-d galactose at equilibrium?arrow_forward
