Decolorization of a mother liquor solution?
Hello, After synthesis and subsequent filtration, I have a mother liquor solution that has turned dark brown after the reaction. Phenol was a component of the starting material and is still predominantly present as the organic phase in the mother liquor. This means that my mother liquor consists of a 50% aqueous phase and a…

How do I calculate the concentration of CO2 after equilibrium has been established?
Hello! 🙂 I would like to know how to determine the concentration of CO and CO2. The solutions state that you should start with c(CO2) = x mol/L and then c(CO) = 0.05 – x mol/L. I don't understand why you can simply label c(CO2) as x mol/L.

I need help/an explanation when naming compounds according to the IUPAC system Thank you very much!
Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate and consists of long chains of glucose molecules. The chains are linear and row parallel to one another and form so-called microfibrils.
Owing to this highly organized and crosslinked structure, cellulose is insoluble in water.
Yeah. The crystalline structure of the cellulose results from the alignment of the cellulose chains.
ANNEX This contributes to the strength and stiffness of the cellulose and makes it a key component for the structural stability of plants.
