Anomeric Carbon Atom: Definition

AI Thread Summary
The term "anomeric carbon" specifically refers to the carbon atom in a sugar molecule that is adjacent to the oxygen in the ring structure. This carbon is crucial in carbohydrate chemistry, particularly in the context of sugar rings, as it plays a significant role in determining the sugar's anomeric configuration. The discussion emphasizes that "anomeric" is a term exclusively used within sugar chemistry, highlighting its importance in understanding the structural properties and reactivity of carbohydrates.

I think that "anomeric" refers to the carbon adjacent to the oxygen in a sugar ring. At any rate it is a term that is reserved for sugar chemistry.
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
