Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:

Glucose is known as dextrose because it occurs in nature as the optically active dextrorotatory isomer. lt is essential constituent of human blood. The blood normally contains 65 to 110mg of glucose per 100mL (hence named Blood sugar). The level may be much higher in diabetic persons. The urine of diabetic persons also contain considerable amount of glucose. ln combined form, it occurs in cane sugar and polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose.

Glucose has an aldehyde group (-CHO), one primary alcoholic group (-CH2OH) and four secondary alcoholic groups (-CHOH) in their structure. Due to the presence five hydroxyl groups (-OH). glucose undergoes acetylation. Glucose also undergoes oxidation with mild oxidising agents like bromine water as well as with strong oxidising agents like nitric acid. Since glucose is readily oxidised, it acts as a strong reducing agent and reduces Tollen's reagent and Fehling solution. Glucose exists in two crystalline forms: $\alpha$-D-glucose and $\beta$-D-glucose. If either of the two forms is dissolved in water and allowed to stand, the specific rotation of the solution changes gradually, until a constant value is obtained. This change is called mutarotation.

A statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.

  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
  2. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
  3. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
  4. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
  1. Assertion: A diabetic person carries a packet of glucose with him always.

Reason: Glucose increases the blood sugar level almost instantaneously.

  1. Assertion: On oxidation with nitric acid, glucose as well as gluconic acid both yield saccharic acid.

Reason: The pentaacetate of glucose does not react with hydroxylamine indicating the absence of free -CHO group.

  1. Assertion: Glucose reacts with acetyl chloride to form pentaacetyl glucose.

Reason: The formation of pentaacetyl derivative confirms the presence of five -OH groups in glucose.

  1. Assertion: A certain compound gives negative test with ninhydrin and positive test with Benedict's solution, the compound is an amino acid.

Reason: Glucose is a monosaccharide.

  1. Assertion: The rapid interconversion of $\alpha$-D-glucose and $\beta$-D-glucose in solution is known as racemisation.

Reason: Hydrolysis reaction will take place when a mineral acid is treated with sugar.

Answer

  1.  (a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
  1. (b) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

Explanation:

$\ \text{CHO}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{COOH}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{COOH}\\\ \ |\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\$\text{CHOH})_4\xrightarrow[\text{HNO}_3]{[\text{O}]}(\text{COOH})_4\xleftarrow[\text{[O]}]{\text{HNO}_3}(\text{CHOH})_4\\\ \ |\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\\ \text{CH}_2\text{OH}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{COOH}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_2\text{OH}\\\ \text{Glucose}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Saccharic acid}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Gluconic acid}$

Strong oxidising agents like nitric acid oxidises both the terminal -CHO and -CH2OH groups of glucose to give the dibasic acid, saccharic acid.

  1. (b) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
  1. (d) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

Explanation:

If a certain compound gives negative test with ninhydrin and positive test with Benedict's solution then the compound should be a monosaccharide.

  1.  (d) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

Explanation:

The rapid interconversion of $\alpha$-Dvgfucose and $\beta$-D-glucose in solution is known as mutarotation. Sugar gets hydrolysed with mineral acids.

$\text{C}_{12}\text{H}-{22}+\text{H}_2\text{O}\xrightarrow{\text{H}^+}\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6+\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\\\ \ \ \ \text{Sugar}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{Glucose}\ \ \ \ \ \text{Fructose}$

The potential of each electrode is known as electrode potential. Standard electrode potential is the potential when concentration of each species taking part in electrode reaction is unity and the reaction is taking place at 298K. By convention, the standard electrode potential of hydrogen (SHE) is 0.0V. The electrode potential value for each electrode process is a measure of relative tendency of the active species in the process to remain in the oxidised/ reduced form. The negative electrode potential means that the redox couple is stronger reducing agent than $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. A positive electrode potential means that the redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than the $\frac{\text{H}^+}{\text{H}_2}$ couple. Metals which have higher positive value of standard reduction potential form the oxides of greater thermal stability.

  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
  2. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

  1. Assertion: An electrochemical cell can be set-up only if the redox reaction is spontaneous.

Reason: A reaction is spontaneous if the free energy change is negative.

  1. Assertion: The standard electrode potential of hydrogen is 0.0V.

Reason: It is by convention.

  1. Assertion: The more negative is the standard reduction potential, greater is its ability to displace H2 from acid.

Reason: Strength of reducing agent increases with the increase in negative value of the standard reduction potential.

  1. Assertion: The negative value of standard reduction potential means that reduction takes place on this electrode with reference to hydrogen electrode.

Reason: The standard electrode potential of a half cell has a fixed value.

  1. Assertion: The absolute value of electrode potential cannot be determined experimentally.

Reason: The electrode potential values are generally determined with respect to SHE.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Metal carbonyl is an example of coordination compounds in which carbon monoxide (CO) acts as ligand. These are also called homoleptic carbonyls. These compounds contain both $\sigma$ and $\pi$ character. Some carbonyls have metal-metal bonds. The reactivity of metal carbonyls is due to (i) the metal centre and (ii) the CO ligands. CO is capable of accepting an appreciable amount of electron density from the metal atom into their empty $\pi$ or $\pi-\text{orbital}.$ These types of ligands are called $\pi-\text{accepter}$ or $\pi-\text{acid}$ ligands.

Number of molecules which must collide simultaneously to give product is called molecularity. It is equal to sum of coefficients of reactants present in stoichiometric chemical equation.

For reaction, m1A + m2B → Product

Molecularity = [m1 + m2]

ln complex reaction each step has its own molecularity which is equal to the sum of coefficients of reactants present in a particular step. Molecularity is a theoretical property. Its value is any whole number. Number of concentration terms on which rate of reaction depends is called order of reaction or sum of powers of concentration terms present in the rate equation is called order of reaction.

If rate equation ofreaction is: Rate $=\text{k}\cdot\text{C}^{\text{m}_1}_\text{A}\cdot\text{C}^{\text{m}_2}_\text{B}$

Then order of reaction = m1 + m2.
