Answer:
Ring structure of glucose <--------------> open chain form
The equilibrium lies far left with the open chain form only 0.02%
Bu when Cu+2 (Benedicts reagent) is added to it the open chain form starts reacting it to give the red precipitae of Cu2O and the clucose is oxidised to acid.
open chain form + Cu+2 -----------> Cu2O + gluconic acid
As the Cu+2 is reacting with open chain form and removing it, the concentration of productsin the equilibrium reaction decrease.
Thus according to Le-Chatlier principle as the product is removed ,the equilibrum shifts to right side to produce more products.
Again the Cu+2 reacts with all the product formed.
Then the equilibrium produces more of open chain form which further goes onreacting.
The process continues till all the glucose is converted to open chain form and is consumed by reaction with Cu+2.
Thus the removal product by reacting with Cu+2 shifts the equilibrium to product side according to Le-chatlier principle and makes the reaction possible.

Diseussion Questions 1. The open-chann form of glucose constitutes only a small fraction of any aqueous glucose sample (-002%. Yet when Cu" is used to oxidize the open-chain form, nearly all of the glucose in the sample reacts. Use Le Chatelier's Principle to explain this observation. 2. Both 3-bexanol fa sik-carbon alcohol) and hexanal (a sik-carbon aldehyde) are liquids at room temperature. Yet all aldohexoses are solids. a) Draw the structures of these substances below. Circle their polar/inonpolar groups, the...

This discussion board is open for any questions or comments in a new thread, but please address the following 1. Should we allow business to be conducted with limited liability entities? This arrangement obviously benefits investors, but does it harm society? If so, how? Many corporate scandals are caused by the separation of ownership from management Investors own companies, but executives manage them. Investors are said to "vote with their feet", meaning that if an investor doesn't like what a...

CASH FLOW CONCERNS Three months ago Harding had prepared a cash flow forecast for the period October 1995 to May 19%. November through March is generally a slow period for the resort, and it is not unusual for the lodge to run cash deficits during most, if not all, of these months. However, the cash surplus generated during the peak period, from August through October, is typically sufficient to...
