Give the general formula for alcohols.
Name the reagent and state the conditions required to turn propene into propan-1-ol.
Write the chemical equation for the complete combustion of propan-1-ol.
Complete the diagram so that it shows part of a carbohydrate polymer formed from the simple sugar shown.
Name the chemical process that takes place when a carbohydrate polymer is broken into simple sugars.
What conditions are needed for this process to happen?
What is the name for the substance used to show the positions of the simple sugars on the chromatogram?
The student found the $R_f$ value of a spot on the chromatogram. Complete the expression for the $R_f$ value of the spot.
How could a student identify a simple sugar using its $R_f$ value?
Sometimes the chromatogram produced cannot identify every substance in a mixture. Explain why this can happen.
