Assertion: The specific rotation of a freshly prepared solution of $\alpha$-glucose decreases from + 112º to 52.7º while that of $\beta$-glucose increases from + 19º to 52.7º.
Reason: The change in specific rotation of an optically active compound with time to an equilibrium value is called mutarotation.
Answer
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

Explanation:

Glucose exists in two forms, i.e. ti-D: glucose with a specific rotation of +112º and $\alpha$-Dglucose with a specific rotation of + 19º. However, when either of these two fonns is dissolved in water and allowed to stand, it gets converted into the same equilibrium mixture of both the $\alpha$- and $\beta$-forms with a small amount of open chain form. As a result of this equilibrium, the specific rotation of a freshly prepared solution of $\alpha$-glucose decreases from + 112º to 52.7º while th at of $\beta$-glucose increases from + 19º to 52. 7º.

Assertion: Glycine exists as zwitter ion but o- and p-aminobenzoic acids do not.
Reason: Due to the presence of -NH2 and -COOH group within the same molecule, they neutralise each other and hence, n-amino acids exist as dipolar ions or zwitter ions.
Answer
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

Explanation:

In o- or p-aminobenzoic acids, the lone pair of electrons on the -NH2 group is donated towards the benzene ring. As a result, the basic character of -NH2 group and acidic character of -COOH group decreases. Therefore, the weakly acidic -COOH group cannot transfer H+ ion to the weakly basic -NH2 group therefore, o and p-aminobenzoic acids do not exist as zwitter ion.

Assertion: Fructose reduces Fehling's solution and Tollens' reagent.
Reason: Fructose does not contain any aldehyde group.
Answer
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

Explanation:

Fructose on warming with dilute alkali, gives rise to an equilibrium mixture of glucose, fructose and mannose. The ability of fructose to reduce Fehling solution and Tollens' reagent is probably due to the isomerisation of fructose to glucose and man nose (this is called Lobry de Bruyn and Elkenstein rearrangement).

Assertion: Alpha ($\alpha$)-amino acids exist as internal salt in solution as they have amino and carboxylic acid groups in near vicinity.
Reason: H+ ion given by carboxylic group (-COOH) is captured by amino group (-NH2) having lone pair of electrons.
Answer
  1. Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

Explanation:

NH2 - CH2 - COOH is a typical a-amino acid.

In solution it exists as, internal salt or zwitter ion,

$(\stackrel{{+}}{\hbox{ NH}}_3)-\text{CH}_2-\text{COO}^-)$

because the proton (H+) of -COOH group is captured by -NH2 group as NH2 has a lone pair of electrons on N atom.

Assertion: D(+)-Glucose is dextrorotatory in nature.
Reason: ‘D’ represents its dextrorotatory nature.
Answer
  1. Assertion is correct statement and reason is wrong statement.

Explanation:

Glucose is correctly named as D(+)-glucose. ‘D’ before the name of glucose represents the configuration whereas ‘(+)’ represents dextrorotatory nature of the molecule. The letters ‘D’ or ‘L’ before the name of any compound indicate the relative configuration of a particular stereoisomer.
