The naturally occurring sugar glucose (Chapter 24) exists in the two isomeric cyclic
Chapter 4, Problem 41(choose chapter or problem)
The naturally occurring sugar glucose (Chapter 24) exists in the two isomeric cyclic forms shownbelow. These are called a and b, respectively, and they are in equilibrium by means of chemicalprocesses that are introduced in Chapter 17.CH2OHOHHOHOHOHO form of glucoseHOHHO form of glucoseCH2OHOHOHO(a) Which of the two forms is more stable?(b) At equilibrium the two forms are present in a ratio of approximately 64;36. Calculate thefree energy difference that corresponds to this equilibrium ratio. How closely does the value youobtained correlate with the data in Table 4-3?
