![]() ![]() Propane-1,2,3-triol, Glycerol, Glycerine, C 3H 8O 3Īt room temperature, glycerol is a sweet-tasting, colorless, odorless, viscous liquid. One page notes it is added to blood preservation solutions in order to maintain the level of 2,3-BPG (a compound that is important for oxygen transport) in stored blood. It plays a role in the metabolism of glucose, and it also has some use as a medicine, mostly related to carbohydrate chemistry. If fructose is metabolized, one of the products is DHAP, phosphorylated DHA. Its found in sugar beets and sugar cane and has a sweet cooling taste. And as I said there, DHA is used as a skin tanner. As I said there, any compound with the formula C xH 2yO y is called a carbohydrate (carbon + water). I talked a bit about DHA already during Closed Tournament Round 1. Some sources list 90 ☌)īoiling point: 214 ☌, 417 ☏ (predicted) It makes it easier to bind them together in SpaceChem, but Ill just ignore the missing atoms.ĭihydroxyacetone, DHA, 1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-one, C 3H 6O 3 Note: As 'The Chem in' Rounds 1 4 were written after the tournament, they may refer to later rounds.įirst, I like to mention that the input molecules arent complete. Alternatively, you can ask general chemistry questions in the SAL Chemistry thread. If you want to ask any questions about the chemistry subjects I cover (or you'd like to add something or correct me), please do so while the thread is still open. ![]() Part 2: The Chem in SpaceChem - Round 1 Im planning to release one of these every few days or so (depending on how much time I have), that way it wont take too long. ![]()
