Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.
Starch
Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.
Mutarotation
The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of the α- and β- glucose anomers upon its dissolution in the solvent water. This process is usually seen in the chemistry of carbohydrates.
L Sugar
A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotating the polarized light’s plane in the direction anticlockwise. L isomers are one of the 2 isomers formed by the configurational stereochemistry of the carbohydrates.

**Name the ester CH₃CH₂COOCH₃**
______________________________
**Draw a general mechanism for the acid-catalyzed esterification of ROH + R'COOH.**
---
**Description and Explanation:**
1. **Chemical Naming**: The given ester compound, CH₃CH₂COOCH₃, needs to be named according to IUPAC naming conventions.
2. **Mechanism Drawing**: In the section below, students are asked to illustrate the general mechanism for acid-catalyzed esterification. This involves a reaction between an alcohol (ROH) and a carboxylic acid (R'COOH) in the presence of an acid catalyst to form an ester.
**Note**: A red cross mark is drawn on the top right corner, which may indicate an error or a point of focus for correction.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4431bf18-77fa-4d23-9482-7c6a6b7e832b%2F775f16b1-631c-4939-b4c2-34fe261132e0%2Flc5o98_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
