Chapter 2, Problem 11Q

A.

Summary Introduction

To find: How many carbon atoms are there in the book.

Concept introduction:

Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate molecules that are composed of long chains of monosaccharide subunits linked together by glyosidic linkages. These polysaccharides, upon hydrolysis, dissociate into respective monosaccharides or oligosaccharides. Cellulose is a type of polysaccharide that is an abundant organic polymer on earth. It is made up of D-glucose monomeric subunits linked together by β (1→4) bonds.

B.

Summary Introduction

To find: How many carbon atoms in cellulose would be stacked on top of each other to span the thickness of the page.

C.

Summary Introduction

To determine: How many carbon atoms of 0.2nm diameter would take to span the thickness of the page.

D.

Summary Introduction

To evaluate: The difference between answer B and answer C.
