Prelab Questions



A number of compounds have been selected as possible unknowns for this experiment. They are listed below. Consider the structures of each unknown (you can see the structure by clicking on the compound in the list) and your answers to the previous question to complete the scheme. The first two (in red) have been done as examples.

arabinose, fructose, galactose, glucose, lactose
maltose, mannitol, ribulose, starch, sucrose, xylose





This completes the prelab. Proceed to the experiment.
