the reaction between the food molecule A and water as given in the attachment. This reaction might occur during the digestion of the molecule. The equation for this reaction is incomplete; only the reactants are shown, the missing product(s) being indicated by a question mark (?).

Can you please...

Identify four different functional groups in the attachment by highlighting them in some way (e.g. by circling them), and naming them clearly.

Draw the abbreviated structural formula(s) of the products of this reaction.

State the type of reaction which has occurred and explain how you have arrived at your answer.

Looks like you're doing S104 :rolleyes: - check out pg 210 of book 4 for all the functional groups. That should get you started in the right direction.

... and for the products, check out page 231 and using the example shown at the top, you can work out your products. It even will tell you what type of reaction has occurred. Good luck with the rest of the TMA!

Good answer - without actually giving the answer -if you know what I mean !
