SECTION-D
The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choice and
carries 4 (1+1+2) marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
31. Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon, containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Their
general molecular formula is Cx(H2O)y; „x‟ mayor may not be equal to „y‟. The advancing
LA
definition of carbohydrates may be given as “polyhydroxyaldehydes and ketones and all those
compounds which give polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones on hydrolysis are called
carbohydrates”. Carbohydrates are calssified as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and
polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are simplest carbohydrates.
Oligosaccharides on hydrolysis give two to ten monosaccharide molecules. Polysaccharides on
the other hand are polymer of monosaccharides.
Answer the following questions.
(a) Give example of a polysaccharide made of fructose.
(b) Rhamnose (C6H12C5) is a compound which has the molecular formula different from general
A
formula of carbohydrates. Is it a carbohydrate? .
(c) Starch and cellulose both are polysaccharide of glucose. What is the difference between
them?
Or
What is essentially the difference between the α-form of glucose and 0-form of glucose?
B
32. Boiling point or freezing point of liquid solution would be affected by the dissolved solids in
the liquid phase. A soluble solid in solution has the effect of raising its boiling point and
depressing its freezing point. The addition of non-volatile substances to a solvent decreases the
vapour pressure and the added solute particles affect the formation of pure solvent crystals.
According to many researches the decrease in freezing point directly correlated to the
concentration of solutes dissolved in the solvent. This phenomenon is expressed as freezing
point depression and it is useful for several applications such as freeze concentration of liquid
food and to find the molar mass of an unknown solute in the solution.
Freeze concentration is a high quality liquid food concentration method where water is removed
by forming ice crystals. This is done by cooling the liquid food below the freezing point of the
solution. The freezing point depression is referred as a colligative property and it is proportional

point of benzene by 0.40 K. What will be the molar mass of the solute? (Kf for benzene = 5.12 K
kg mol-1)
Or
What will be the boiling point elevation for a solution prepared by adding 10 g of CaCl2 to 200 g
of water. (Kb for water = 0.512 K kg mol-1, molar mass of CaCl2 = 111 g mol-1).
