Given the E0 values of the following two half-reactions:
Zn à Zn2+ + 2e- E0 = 0.763 volt
Fe à Fe2+ + 2e- E0 = 0.441 volt
a)Write a balanced complete oxidation-reduction reaction?
b)Explain whether the corrosion of an iron pipe (i.e., Fe Fe2+) in the presence of Zn/Zn2+ is possible or not (thermodynamically)?
c)Explain whether or not Zn will protect the corrosion of iron pipe if metallic Zn is in contact with the iron pipe?

You have 200 ml of 0.1M HEPES buffer, pH 7.5. You add 2 ml of 0.4M HCl. The pKa of HEPES is 7.5.
a) what will the resulting pH be?
b) what would the pH be if no HEPES were present (that is, you mixed water and HCl)?

Carbohydrates:
what is the difference in monosacchrides, disaccharides, and polysacchrides?
What are the structures of glucose, frustose, sucrose, lactose, and starch, such that you could predict their responses in the following tests:
Benedicts test (remains bright blue if negative for a reducing sugar, turns any other color if positive for reducing sugar. Tests for free or potentially free aldehyde or ketone groups)
Seliwanoff’s Test (turns red or pink, speed of color change indicates ketose vs. aldose, and monosacchride vs. disaccharide)
Iodine Test – tests for polysaccharides, turns blue-black in starch, red-to-brown color in other polysaccharides
