Question
Chapter 25.8B, Problem 25.12P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The eight isoprene units in
Concept introduction: An isoprene unit is made up of five-carbon atoms. In terpenes, the isoprene units are connected to each other in head to tail fashion. The head part of an isoprene unit is branched, whereas the tail part of an isoprene unit is un-branched.
To determine: The eight isoprene units in

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?
