Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the number of -COOH groups to the number of -OH groups in the product formed from the reaction of glucose with HNO3, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Reaction Glucose (C6H12O6) reacts with nitric acid (HNO3), which is an oxidizing agent. This reaction oxidizes the aldehyde and alcohol groups in glucose. ### Step 2: Determine the Structure of Glucose The structure of glucose can be represented as follows: - It has 6 carbon atoms, with one carbon in the form of an aldehyde group (-CHO) and five carbons with hydroxyl groups (-OH). ...
