Chapter 23, Problem 48P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The atoms added or removed in each step are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A biochemical reaction refers to a chemical reaction in which one molecule is transformed to different molecules present inside the cell of the living beings. These reactions occur via the help of certain biological enzymes that can alter the rate of the chemical reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason for the steps [2a] and [2b] to be not considered as reduction or oxidation reactions although number of C-O and C-H bonds changes during these reactions needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Oxidation reaction is a chemical reaction in which a given chemical species gains or loose electrons during the chemical reaction. On the other hand, reduction reactions are those chemical reactions in which a chemical species either gains electrons or accepts hydrogen atoms.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The type of reactions which takes place in step [2a] and step [2b] of the given reaction is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Dehydration reactions are those chemical reactions which cause the loss of water molecules from the reactant molecule and results is the formation of products. On the other hand, hydration reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a given chemical species combines with water to form new products.
