Sugars are technically called carbohydrates, referring to the fact that their formulae are only multiple of `C(H_2O)`. Hexoses therefore have six carbons, twelve hydrogens and six oxygen atoms. Glucose is a hexose.Choose from among the following another hexose.

A

Fructose

B

Erythrose

C

Ribulose

D

Ribose

Which of the following statements are true? i) Rhamnose and deoxyribose are carbohydrates by their chemical behavior but cannot represented as hydrates of carbon ii) Formaldehyde and acetic acid do not behave like carbohydrate but can be represented by the general formula of carbohydrates, C_x(H_2O)_y iii) Raffinose on hydrolysis gives glucose and galactose only iv) Polysaccharides are also called non-sugars v) In disaccharides, if reducing groups of monosaccharides are bonded, they are non reducing in nature vi) Sorbose is an example of aldose

Monosaccharides containing an aldehyde group are called aldoses while those containing aketo group are called ketoses. The aldehyde group is always present at C_1 while the keto group is usually present at C_2 . All monosaccharides containing five and six carbon atoms have cyclic structures, furnaose (five membered) and pyranose (six membered). During ring formation, C_1 in aldoses and C_2 in ketoses becomes chiral and hence all these monosaccharides exist in two stereoisomeric forms called the alpha -anomer and the beta -anomer while C_1 and C_2 are called glycosidic or anomeric carbon atoms. In contrast, stereoisomers, which differ in configuration at any other chiral carbon other than the glycosidic carbon are called epimers. Two molecules of the same or different monosaccharides combine together through glycosidic linkage to form disaccharides. All monosaccharides (aldoses and ketoses) and most disaccharides reduce Tollens'reagent and Fehling's solution, undergo mutarotation and form osazones. Which of the following pairs give positive Tollens' test?

Pick out the correct statements from the following. Also correct the incorrect statements. a) The number of molecules present in 1 mol hydrogen and 1 mol oxygen are same. b) 1 mole chlorine contain 4 xx 6.022 xx10^23 chlorine molecules. c) The mass of 1/2 mol nitrogengas is 14g. d) 0.5 mol water has the mass of 9g. There are 6.022 xx 10^23 H_2 O molecules in it. (Atomic mass H= 1.0= 16, Cl 35.5, N = 14).

Choose the incorrect statement from the following. a) 1 mole Hydrogen atom contains 6.022xx10^23 atoms. b) 1 mole oxygen gas contains 2xx6.022xx10^23 atoms. c) Mass of 1 mole of chlorine is 35.5 g. d) Mass of 0.5 mole of water is 18g. e) 1 mole of nitrogen gas contains 22.4L volume at any state. (Hint: Atomic mass H-1, 0-16, 1-35.5,N=14)
