hey u guyz know those questions where they give the boiling points of sum alkanes and then ask to predict the boiling pt of one of them
how do u dat?
@ kim - to find the boiling point there r 2 cases -
1) they give u graph to draw and u have to predict the boiling point - in that case u have to continue the graph line in the same trend and read the value on the graph (known as extrapolation)
2) they give u table and tell u to predict the boiling point - then 4 sure there will be some linear trend shown by the boiling points given in the table.
hope u understand
@thukon - simple sugars like glucose and sucrose are called monosaccharides
maltose and fructose are "bigger" molecules known as disaccharides
starch and cellulose are complex molecules known as polysaccharides
