The specific rotation of α -d-galactose is 150.7 and that of β -d-galactose is 52.8. When an aqueous mixture that was initially 70% α -d-galactose and 30% β -d-galactose reaches equilibrium, the specific rotation is 80.2. What is the percentage of α -d-galactose and β -d galactose at equilibrium?
Caffeine is a natural insecticide found in the seeds and leaves of certain plants, where it kills insects that feed on the plant. Caffeine is extracted for human consumption from beans of the coffee plant, from Kola nuts, and from the leaves of tea plants. Because it stimulates the central nervous system, it temporarily prevents drowsiness. Add caffeine’s missing lone pairs to its structure.
