Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The type of carbonyl group in erythrulose should be identified.
Concept introduction:
An aldehyde has an oxygen atom double bonded to carbon and a hydrogen atom bonded to the same carbon.
A ketone has oxygen atom double bonded to the C and there are no H atoms bonded to it.
In both aldehydes and ketones this carbon is known as carbonyl carbon.
R − Other atoms or atomic groups connected to the compound apart from the carbonyl group.
(b)
Interpretation:
The 3 hydroxyl groups should be classified as primary (1
Concept introduction:
Depending on the number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atom with hydroxyl group (-OH), they can be classified as primary (1
(c)
Interpretation:
Out of the 2 functional groups in erythrulose, which functional group is reacting with Tollens reagent should be considered.
Concept introduction:
Tollens reagent is amixture of a silver nitrate solution, ammonia and some sodium hydroxide. NaOH is added to maintain the pH in a basic level as the Tollensreaction only happens in a basic medium.
(d)
Interpretation:
Out of the 2 functional groups in erythrulose, which functional group is reacting with K2Cr2O7 should be considered.
Concept introduction:
K2Cr2O7 is an oxidizing agent. It has the ability to oxidize some functional groups of an organic compound.

- Q9. The insecticide DDT (in the box below) is useful in controlling mosquito populations and has low toxicity to humans, but is dangerous to birds and fish. Hoping to alleviate the dangers, little Johnny Whizbang, an aspiring chemist, proposes a new version of DDT ("Bromo-DDT") and shows his synthesis to his boss. Will Johnny Whizbang's synthesis work? Or will he be fired? Assume there is an excess of bromine and polybrominated products can be separated. Explain why.
