SYNTHESIS OF OXALIC ACID
SUCROSe MF
(C12H22O11)
SUCROSe
Sugar
Saccharose
Non-reducing sugar Colorless or white crystals Sweet taste, stable in air
SUCROSE
SUCROSE soluble in
water
SUCROSE insoluble in
chloroform and other organic solvents
A two-part disaccharide generated by joining the monosaccharide sugars glucose and fructose
SUCROSE
All photosynthetic plants contain
sucrose
ndustrial procedure is used to extract it from
sugarcane and sugar beets
Sucrose crystal structure is
monoclinic
May be converted to (blank) and (blank) in a combustion event
carbon dioxide, water
When sucrose is treated with chloric acid, it forms
hydrochloric acid, carbon dioxide and water
During hydrolysis, the glycoside bond between the two carbohydrates in a sucrose molecule is broken, resulting in
glucose and fructose
OXALIC ACID
Ethanedioic acid
OXALIC ACID Easily prepared by (blank) of certain carbohydrates like sucrose
oxidation
Easily prepared by oxidation of certain carbohydrates like sucrose by concentrating
nitric acid
During oxidation, the carbon atoms are split off in pairs giving
oxalic acid
oxalic acid is stornger than
acetic acid
OXALIC ACID uses
Cleaning or bleaching
Dyeing process
Reducing agent
SALICYLIC ACID
