Why is glucose named glucose?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Word that comes from a Greek word

Explanation:

From the chemical point of view, this molecule is a hexose (this is, it has 6 carbon atoms) and an aldose (since it has an aldehyde group)

Glucose as a word has its origin from the Greek word “gleukos”, which means “sweet wine”, and the suffix “ose”, which is used to for a sugar

French people then adapted this word (in order to define a new chemical word, to differentiate the type of sugar found in grapes, slight different from sugar found in other elements such as honey)

Processes are always spontaneous when ________ ( H and S refer to the system).

Explanation:

A spontaneous chemical process is one in which product formation is favoured under the specified conditions. A spontaneous process yields the product without an external input of energy.

A spontaneous reaction will always occur when ∆H is negative and ∆S is positive. These are the signs of enthalpy and and entropy change that gives rise to a spontaneous chemical process at all temperatures. Recall that a spontaneous process is one in which ∆G<0.
