Chapter 17: Q19P (page 428)

17-19. In the Figure, 17-11, 2.00nmol fructose was introduced at the time of the arrow. How many electrons are lost in the oxidation of one molecule of fructose? Compare the theoretical number of coulombs with the observed number of coulombs for complete oxidation of the sample.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The n electron isn(e-)=4.10-9mol and the charge isq=3.86.10-4C

Step by step solution

01

Fructose oxidation:

The body oxidizes a considerable proportion of dietary fructose to create energy. At rest, fructose may be preferentially or comparably consumed to create energy like glucose, however, during exercise, glucose seems to be more preferentially utilized to produce energy by the body.

02

Find oxidation of one fructose molecule:

The reaction is:

D-fructose→5-keto-D-fructose+2H++2e-

The electron is:

n(e-)n(fructose)=21n(e-)=2.n(fructose)n(e-)=2.2.10-9moln(e-)=4.10-9mol

The charge is:

q=n(e-).Z.Fq=4.10-9mol.1.96485C/molq=3.86.10-4C

The chlor-alkali process 54in which seawater is electrolyzed to make CI2 andNaOH, is the second most important commercial electrolysis, behindAIproduction.

Anode: CI-→12CI2+e-

HgCathode:Na++H2O+e-→NaOH+12H2

The Nafion membrane (page 421) used to separate the anode and cathode compartments resists chemical attack. Its anionic side chains permit conduction ofNa+ , but not anions. The cathode compartment contains pure water, and the anode compartment contains seawater from which Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been removed. Explain how the membrane allows NaOH to be formed free ofNaCI.

What cathode potential (versus S.H.E.) is required to reduce 99.99%of cd(II) from a solution containing 0.10Mcd (II) in 1,0M ammonia if there is negligible current? Consider the following reactions and assume that nearly all (II) is in the form Cd(NH3)42+
