- What bond connects the monomer units in cellulose: amide, acid, ether, ester, or alcohol?arrow_forwardIn reference to cloth or fiber, the term acetate usually means cellulose acetate, a semisynthetic polymer made by treating cellulose with acetic anhydride. Cellulose acetate is spun into yarn by dissolving it in acetone or methylene chloride and forcing the solution through spinnerets into warm air, where the solvent evaporates.

Ribose's structure is ОН HO ОН ОН a) Draw using the arrow formalism the reaction of linear ribose to make a 5-membered ring. b) What is the name of the resulting functional group? c) Given that reaction of alcohols (such as RCH2OH) with carbonyls (such as HCO-R') to create this functional group is typically not thermodynamically favored, why does most ribose in water exist as a 5-membered ring? A few word answer is fine. d) AG°for this reaction is about - 5 kJ/mol. Assuming that you start with a 1 mM solution of ribose in water, what is the approximate concentration at equilibrium of (i) the linear form? (ii) The cyclic form? (A good answer should be correct within 20%, e.g. it is fine to approximate 9 mM as 10 mM, but it is not okay to approximate 0.1 mM as 1 mM.) e) This reaction creates a new stereocenter.

Which ones with RNA? Why must detergent be added to liberate the DNA? What parts of the cell contain DNA?arrow_forwardIn general, the starch hydrolysis reaction can be written as (C6H10O5)n + H2O -> (C6H10O5)n-1 + C6H12O6, where one glucose is produced for every water added. Because of the addition of water, the mass of the glucose monomer increases during hydrolysis from approximately 162g/mol in the starch polymer to 180g/mol as free sugar. The glucose, in turn is converted to ethanol by the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, according to the reaction, C6H12O6 -> 2 CO2 + 2 C2H5OH. The starch in 25kg (~1 bushel) of corn is hydrolyzed and in the process 1.8kg of water (H2O) is consumed. How many moles of glucose (C6H12O6) would you expect to be produced? If the glucose from the above hydrolysis is fermented, how many moles of ethanol (C2H5OH) would result? How many grams?arrow_forward
- Poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA, is produced from poly(vinyl acetate) by converting the acetate groups into hydroxyl groups (Section 26.6a.1). As the number of hydroxyl groups in PVA increases, the solubility of the polymer in water decreases. How do you explain this behavior?arrow_forward6. Nylon-11 is poly(Ω-aminoundecanoic acid). In the polymerization of Ω-aminoundec-anoic acid, H2N(CH2)10COOH, to produce this polymer, what weight fraction of the reaction mixture will have the structure –[-NH–(CH2)10–CO-]100– when 99% of the functional groups have reacted ?arrow_forwardHow does polyimides behave in acidic media?arrow_forward
