Concept explainers

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 th…
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 rotat…

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why celery has a large number of polysaccharides still it is considered as a good snack for people on a diet is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A large molecule formed by the combination of multiple numbers of monosaccharides is called polysaccharide. These monosaccharides can be same, known as homo-polysaccharide or different known as hetero-polysaccharides. A molecule with a straight chain is called linear polysaccharide and that with a branched chain is called a branched polysaccharide.

Part II. xiao isolated a compound TAD (Ca H 10 N₂) from tobacco and obtained its IR spectrum. Xiao proposed a chemical structure shown below: % Transmittance 4000 3500 3000 2500 2000 Wavenumber (cm-1) 1500 1000 (a) Explain why her proposed structure is inconsistent with the IR spectrum obtained (b) TAD exists as a tautomer of the structure xiao proposed. Draw the structure and explain why it is more compatible with the obtained spectrum. (C) what is the possible source for the fairly intense signal at 1621cm1
