Consider the structure of sucrose with labeled carbon atoms. Structure of sucrose with labeled carbon atoms. The glucose moiety is labeled 1 through 6 clockwise, starting from the carbon that forms the glycosidic bond. The fructose moiety is labeled 1 prime through 6 prime counter clockwise starting with the carbon attached to the hydroxyl group and the 2 prime carbon that forms the glycosidic bond. Identify the anomeric carbon atoms of sucrose.

answer carbon and three oxygen atoms;

percent abundance for cu-63 can be shown as:

63 x + 65 (1-x) = 62.9296

65 - 62.9296 = 2 x

x = 1.035

thus, percent abundance for cu-63 is 1.035

percent abundance for cu-65 can be shown as:

63 x + 65 (1-x) = 64.9278

65 - 64.9278 = 2 x

x = 0.0361

thus, percent abundance for cu-63 is 0.0361

the mass spectrum of cu-63 showing the intense peak as, this isotope is found in nature more abundantly around 92.38 % in comparison to cu-65 which is found 62.58 % naturally
