Concept explainers
Interpretation:
To predict the structure of the coloured compound when the given colourless compound come in contact with the acid treated sheet.
Concept introduction:
Acid-base indicators are the compounds which changetheir colour on changing the pH. The reaction of the acid-base indicator can be represented by:
In organic compounds chromophoreis the unsaturated part that imparts colour. An auxochrome is a functional group attached to the chromophore which enhances its property. The increased pi-conjugation decreases the energy gap between pi bonding and pi anti-bonding orbital. The energy absorbs by the electron to get excited from pi bonding to pi anti-bonding orbital get decreased. The wavelength of the emitted photon is in the visible region so the compound is intensely coloured.

What reactions are obtained?arrow_forwardd-Glucuronic acid is found widely in plants and animals. One of its functions is to detoxify poisonous HO-containing compoundsby reacting with them in the liver to form glucuronides. Glucuronides are water soluble and therefore readily excreted. Afteringestion of a poison such as turpentine or phenol, the glucuronides of these compounds are found in the urine. Draw thestructure of the a- and b-glucuronides formed by the reaction of b-d-glucuronic acid and phenol.arrow_forward

This cholic acid–amino acid combination acts asan emulsifying agent to disperse lipids in the intestines for easierdigestion. Draw the structure of the cholic acid–glycine combination,and explain why it is a good emulsifying agent.arrow_forwardDigitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digitalis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).arrow_forward
