All naturally occurring sugars are found to have the D-configuration. How do you assign D or L configuration for a monosaccharide ? Illustrate with a specific example.

Most of the naturally occurring processes are spontaneous. a) Give the criteria for spontaneity of a process in terms of free energy change ( DeltaG ) b) Exothermic reactions associated with a decrease in entropy are sponaneous at lower temperatures. Justify on the basis of Gibbs equation. c) Find the temperature above which the reactin MgO_((s))+C_((s))rightarrow Mg_((s))+CO_((g)) becomes spontaneous. (Given ( Delta_rH^theta=490kJmol^-1 & Delta_rS^theta=198JK mol^-1 )

Aminoacids, as the name suggests, have both an amino group and a carboxyl group in their structure. In addition, all naturally occurring aminoacids (those which are found in proteins) are called L-aminoacids.From this, can you guess from which compound can the simplest aminoacid be made?

In redox reactions, oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously . b) During a group discussion, one of your friends argues that thermal decomposition of KCIO_3 is a redox reaction while that of CaCO_3 is not a redox reaction. Give your opinion and substantiate.

Pick out the statements which suits to f block elements. a. All of them are naturally occurring elements. b. Uranium and Thorium are f block elements. c. Last electrons is filled in the shell pre-ceding the outermost shell. d. last electrons are filled up in the antepenultimate shell. e. Includes some radioactive elements. f. Some of them are used as catalyst in petroleum industry.

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?
