How will you distinguish $1^{\circ}$ and $2^{\circ}$ hydroxyl groups present in glucose? Explain with reactions.
$1^{\circ}$ and $2^{\circ}$ hydroxyl groups present in glucose can be identified by the reaction of glucose with nitric acid. Primary OH group present in glucose are easily oxidise to $-$COOH group while secondary OH group does not.
Hence, one OH is primary OH group.
Coagulation of egg white on boiling is an example of denaturation of protein. Explain it in terms of structural changes.
Denaturation of proteins Protein present in egg white has an unique three dimensional structure. When it is subjected to physical change like change in temperature. i.e., on boiling, coagulation of egg white occurs due to denaturation of protein. During denaturation hydrogen bonds are disturbed due to this globules unfold and helix gets uncoiled and protein looses its biological activity.
