5. To make glucose and xylose, sugarcane bagasse is hydrolyzed by dilute acid. The composition of the bagasse is shown in the following table: Table 1 Main components of sugar cane bagasse used in this study Components Percentage dry weight Glucan 38.9+1.0 Xylan 20.6+ 1.6 Araban 5.56+0.7 Klason lignin 23.9+1.7 Others 11.0+ 1.0 (Note: "Xylan" is the polymer of xylose and "glucan" is the polymer of glucose.) Bagasse (100 g) is added to 1 L of 4% H2SO4 in a batch reactor maintained at 128C. In the batch reactor, the initial concentration of xylose and glucose is zero. What is the initial concentration of xylan (g/L) and glucan (g/L)? a
