Suggest a name for this kind of reaction.
Explain in detail why glucose and fructose are a pair of structural isomers. Your response must refer specifically to these two molecules.
The activation energy for reaction B is $+29\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$. Predict the activation energy of reaction A.
The enthalpy change for reaction A is $-14\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$. Predict the enthalpy change for reaction B.
Sketch a labelled energy level diagram for reaction B. Include the relevant values from (c)(i) and (c)(ii).
Explain the meaning of the term enthalpy change of combustion of sucrose.
Use the Data Booklet to calculate the enthalpy change, in $\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$, for the combustion of sucrose. Assume that every bit of heat energy produced is transferred to the water. Show your working.
A sample of 1.00 g of sucrose, $\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11}$, is completely combusted. The heat energy released is used to raise the temperature of 250 g of water in a calorimeter from $25.0\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ to $40.7\,^{\circ}\text{C}$. These data can then be used to calculate the enthalpy change of combustion of sucrose.
