Hexoses, which are either aldoses or ketoses, show reducing properties. This reducing property is the basis of the test for sugar in the urine and in the blood. When reducing agent is treated with an oxidizing agent such as Cu2+ complex ion,+ a red-orange precipitate of copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) is formed. The unbalanced equation for the reaction of an aldehyde with Copper (II) complex ion can be written as follow:
aldehyde + Cu2+ heat NAOH
Tetroses have four carbon atoms, pentoses have five carbon atoms, and hexoses have six carbon atoms. You can identify them based on the number of carbon atoms in their molecular structure.
endothermic reaction
You think probable to a reversible reaction.
The measure is the rate of reaction.
A composition reaction (sometimes also called a combination reaction.
Sugars containing the aldo or the keto group are capable of reducing copper in alkaline solutions (Fehling's solution) to produce the brick-red colouration of cuprous ions. These sugars are called reducing sugars and the reaction, although not specific for reducing sugars, has use for both qualitative and quantitative determinations.
Glucose, galactoce, and fructose are carbohydrates called hexoses. Hexoses are monosaccharides with 6 carbon atoms. (hexo- meaning 6)
When two hexoses, such as glucose and fructose, combine, the reaction is a condensation, because a small molecule is eliminated:glucose + fructose → sucrose + waterMore specifically, when the small eliminated molecule is water, it is a dehydration reaction.(The water is formed when a hydroxyl group -OH of one hexose reacts with a hydroxyl group on the other. Water is formed, and the two hexoses are combined by the remaining oxygen atom -O- )If further sugars add to the chain, the reaction is also polymerization.
The general term is hexose; if you were looking for a specific example, both glucose and fructose are hexoses.
Main sugar in plant cell wall is cellulose.Instead lignin,hemicellulose,some pentoses and hexoses are found.
For (most common) hexoses there are 12 H atoms (C6H12O6) but for pentoses (like ribose) it's only 10 (C5H10O5).
C6H12O6 (molar mass: 180.16 g/mol). It may refer to glucose, hexoses, and other subtsances.
a carbohydrate. For example, pentoses are C5, H10, O5, and hexoses are C6, H12, O6 <- glucose.
Tetroses have four carbon atoms, pentoses have five carbon atoms, and hexoses have six carbon atoms. You can identify them based on the number of carbon atoms in their molecular structure.
C6H12O6 is a molecular formula and could refer to any of the following: Hexoses, Allose, Altrose, Fructose, Galactose, Glucose, Gulose, Idose, Mannose, Psicose, Sorbose, Tagatose, Talose, Inositol, how the atoms are arranged determines what the molecule is
