Answer:
Lavoisier disproved the phlogiston theory. He demonstrated that there was an element called oxygen that played a major role in combustion. He also showed that the mass of products in a reaction are equal to the mass of the reactants. The phlogiston theory did not account for the weight changes found in fire. Lavoisier hypothesized that it was probably the fixation and release of air, rather than fire, that caused the observed gains and losses in weight.
Answer:
B. They are stereoisomers
C. They are enantiomers
Explanation:
Let us consider all the options
A. D and L-glucose are not necessarily furanose, they can also be in free form (open chain) or as a six-membered ring (pyranose)
B. These sugars are stereoisomers as they have the same molecular formula, same bonds but with the different spacial arrangement.
C. Two structures are called enantiomers, if they are stereoisomers and are mirror images of each other and are not-superimposable. The given pair of structures satisfy these conditions
D. Epimers are diastereoisomers (same molecular formula and connectivity having a different spacial arrangement but are not mirror images and non-superimposable) with only one different stereocenter (if there are more than one). This is not the case
E. All monosaccharides (any sugar that cannot be hydrolysed to a simpler sugar) are reducing sugars. So, this option is invalid
Answer:
according to me option a is the correct one
