High fructose corn syrup is produced from the partial conversion of glucose to fructose.For this reaction K=0.74.If the glucose concentration is 5x10^-3 M,the fructose concentration must equal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given the equilibrium constant (K) is 0.74 for the conversion of glucose to fructose, and the initial glucose concentration is 5x10^-3 M, we can set up an equation based on the equilibrium expression K = [Fructose]/[Glucose]. Since K = 0.74 and [Glucose] = 5x10^-3 M, solving for [Fructose] gives us [Fructose] = K * [Glucose] = 0.74 * 5x10^-3 M = 3.7x10^-3 M.
