A

p-anisaldehyde

47
Q

the more -OH grps there are, the ____ polar the sugar is; therefore, it will be more adsorbed by the silica gel.

A

more polar

48
Q

In quantitative analysis, the amount of carbohydrates present in a given sample can be measured by ____

A

Nelson’s method

49
Q

What method in quantitative analysis of carbs is based on the capacity of the free reducing groups of sugars in a carbohydrate sample to reduce Cu2+ in an alkaline solution?

A

Nelson’s method

50
Q

The Colorimetry of Absorbance is based on the intensity of the product of arsenomolybdate and the copper oxide solution and is measured at ____nm.

A

480

51
Q

sodium potassium tartrate is also known as?

A

rochelle salt

52
Q

In Nelson’s method, what reagent serves as the oxidation agent?

CuSO4

53
Q

What reagent prevents the precipitation of Cu(OH)2?

A

Sodium Potassium Tartrate

Rochelle salt

54
Q

In Nelson’s method, what reagent is added to dissolve Cu2O and is converted to molybdenum blue?

A

Arsenomolybdate reagent

55
Q

The more intense the blue coloration is (molybdenum blue), the greater the amt of Cu2+, and the ____ the amt of sugar there is.

greater or lesser

A

greater

56
Q

Acid hydrolysis is a complete hydrolysis, therefore it yields what products?

A

monosaccharides

glu fru galac etc

57
Q

Enzymatic hydrolysis is what type of hydrolysis?

complete or incomplete?

A

incomplete

coz it breaks specific bonds onli

yields a mixture of glu, mal, & other hydrolysates (amylase is an example)

58
Q

nice to remember:

why is basic hydrolysis not used in the exp?

A

bcoz aldo & keto grps are sensitive to strong base attacks, leading to its epimerization (aldose-ketose interconvertion)

syempre magfafalse ibang tests like say for example fructose won’t be a ketose na or smth
