Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the fumaric acid is cis or trans isomer needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The cis-trans isomers, also known as geometric isomers, are isomers which have same molecular formula but have different permanent position in space.
They are also known as geometric isomers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of maleic acid and the geometric isomer of fumaric acid is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The cis-trans isomers, also known as geometric isomers, are isomers which have same molecular formula but have different permanent position in space.
They are also known as geometric isomers.
(c)
Interpretation:
The possibility of cis-trans isomer of succinic acid is to be determined and if it exists then line drawing of isomer is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The cis-trans isomers, also known as geometric isomers, are isomers which have same molecular formula but have different permanent position in space.

- (a) What is the empirical formula of cellulose? (b) Whatis the monomer that forms the basis of the cellulose polymer?(c) What bond connects the monomer units in cellulose:amide, acid, ether, ester, or alcohol?arrow_forwardCellulose is treated with methanol, which methylates the reducing end of polysaccharides. (a) How many methyl groups would be incorporated per cellulose chain? Explain. (b) Relative to cellulose, how many methyl groups would be incorporated in a molecule of amylopectin? (more, less or the same?) Explain. (c) Cellulose is treated with dimethyl sylfate, which adds a methyl group to all free hydroxyl groups.
