The correct Answer is:
To determine which reaction provides evidence that glucose has an unbranched carbon chain, we need to analyze the reactions involving glucose and their products. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the reactions mentioned: ### Step 1: Analyze the First Reaction - **Reaction**: Glucose + Bromine Water - **Product**: Gluconic Acid - **Next Step**: Gluconic Acid + Red Phosphorus + HI - **Final Product**: n-Hexane **Conclusion**: The formation of n-hexane indicates that the glucose has an unbranched carbon chain. ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Reaction - **Reaction**: Glucose + NaBH4 - **Product**: Hexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol - **Next Step**: Hexol + Red Phosphorus + HI - **Final Product**: n-Hexane **Conclusion**: Similar to the first reaction, the formation of n-hexane from hexol also indicates an unbranched carbon chain. ### Step 3: Analyze the Third Reaction - **Reaction**: Glucose + HCN - **Intermediate Product**: A compound with a carbon chain that includes a triple bond and hydroxyl groups. - **Next Step**: H3O+ (Hydronium ion) - **Final Step**: Red Phosphorus + HI - **Final Product**: n-Heptane **Conclusion**: The increase in carbon count leading to n-heptane also supports the presence of an unbranched carbon chain. ### Step 4: Analyze the Fourth Reaction - **Reaction**: Glucose + CH3OH - **Product**: Methylated Glucose **Conclusion**: Since methylated glucose does not provide clear evidence of the carbon chain structure (it could be branched or unbranched), this reaction does not support the claim. ### Final Answer The reactions that furnish evidence that glucose has an unbranched carbon chain are: 1. Glucose + Bromine Water → n-Hexane 2. Glucose + NaBH4 → n-Hexane 3. Glucose + HCN → n-Heptane Thus, the correct options are 1, 2, and 3. ---
