Which of the following statement is not true about sucrose?
AnswerC. The glycosidic linkage is present between $C _1$ of $\alpha$-glucose and $C _1$ of $\beta$-fructose
Explanation:
Statement-(b) is not true for sucrose. It is linked through a glycosidic linkage between C-1 of $\alpha$-glucose and C-2 of $\beta$-fructose. Since, the reducing groups of glucose and fructose are involved in glycosidic bond formation, sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.

On hydrolysis with acids or enzyme, sucrose gives equimolar mixture of D-(+)-glucose and D-(-)-fructose.

If for a certain chemical reaction, $A + B \longrightarrow C + D$, the unit of its rate constant is $M ^{-2}$ $s ^{-1}$, which of the following could be a possible rate law for the reaction?
- A
Rate $= k [ A ][ B ]^2$
- B
Rate $=k[A][B]$
- C
Rate $= k [ A ][ B ]^3$
- D
Rate $=k[A]^2[B]^2$
AnswerA. Rate $= k [ A ][ B ]^2$
Explanation:
In general, for nth order reaction, the unit of rate constant
$=(\text { Concentration })^{1-n}(\text { time })^{-1}$
So, $1- n =-2 \Rightarrow n =3$
Thus, the unit of rate constant $M ^{-2} s^{-1}$ indicates that the given reaction must be third order.
Rate $= k [ A ][ B ]^2$ is third order overall.

A solution at $20^{\circ} C$ is composed of 1.5 mol of benzene and 3.5 mol of toluene. If the vapour pressure of pure benzene and pure toluene at this temperature are 74.7 torr and 22.3 torr, respectively, then the total vapour pressure of the solution and the benzene mole fraction in equilibrium with it will be, respectively:
AnswerB. 38.0 torr and 0.589
Explanation:
Total V.P. of solution $=P_A^{\circ} X_A+P_B^{\circ} X_B$
Given, $P_A^{\circ}=74.7$ torr, $P_B^{\circ}=22.3$ torr
$n _{\text {benzene }}=1.5 mol, n _{\text {toluene }}=3.5 mol$
$n _{\text {solution }}=1.5+3.5=5 mol$

Total V.P. of solution $=(0.3 \times 74.7+0.5 \times 22.3)$ torr
$=(22.4+15.6)$ torr $=38$ torr
Mole fraction of benzene in vapour form $=\frac{22.4}{38}=0.589$ View full question & answer→MCQ 264 Marks

- B
X if $T =315 K$
- C
Y if $T =300 K$
