 SECTION D
Mhe following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an
internal choice and carries 4(2+1+1) marks each. Read the
passage carefully
And answer the questions that follow:
29. The rate law for a chemical reaction relates the reaction rate with the
concentrations or partial pressures of the reactants. For a general reaction
aA + bB Cwith no intermediate steps in its reaction mechanism, meaning
that it is an elementary reaction, the rate law is given by r = k[AJ'BI", where
[A] and (B] express the concentrations of Aand Bin moles per litre. Exponents
xand y vary for each reaction and are determined experimentally. The value
of k varies with conditions that affect reaction rate, such as temperature,
as overall
pressure, surface area, etc. The sum of these exponents is known
reaction order. A zero order reaction has a constant rate that is independent
on the
of the concentration of the reactants. A first order reaction depends

the overall order is two. Once we have determined

30. Carbohydrates are essential for life in both plants and animals. Carbohydrates
are used as storae molecules as strach in plants and glycogen in animals
Chemically they are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones. On the basis of their
behaviour on hydrolysis, cabohydrates are classified as monosaccharides
oligosacharides and polysaccharides. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars
A monosaccharide like glucose is aldohexose and its molecular formula was
found to be CH,,O. After reacting with different reagents like HI, H,N-OH.
Bromine water etc. its structure was found to contain one aldehyde group.
one primary alcoholic group, (-CH,0H) and four secondary alcoholic groups
(>CHOH). Despite having the aldehyde group, glucose does not give some
of the reactions of aldehyde group like Schiff's est,
NaHSO.,, addition. This
explains the existence of glucose in two cyclic hemiacetal forms which
differ
only in the configuration of the hydroxyl group at C-1.
Answer the following questions:

starch'. Why it is
called animal starch?
