(-) - 1 - chloro-1-phenylethane is:
.

With SbCl5 carbocation is formed. As the carbocation is planar, Cl⊖ can again attack from both sides giving racemic mixture. (d, l mixture formed)
A solution of (−)1−chloro−1−phenylethane in toluene racemises slowly in the presence of a small amount of SbCl5, due to the formation of :

The correct statements are : A. Activation energy for enzyme catalysed hydrolysis of sucrose is lower than that of acid catalysed hydrolysis. B. During denaturation, secondary and tertiary structures of a protein are destroyed but primary structure remains intact. C. Nucleotides are joined together by glycosidic linkage between $\mathrm{C}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{C}_{4}$ carbons of the pentose sugar. D. Quaternary structure of proteins represents overall folding of the polypeptide chain. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
From the given following (A to D) cyclic structures, those which will not react with Tollen's reagent are : 
Given below are two statements: Statement I: Sucrose is dextrorotatory. However, sucrose upon hydrolysis gives a solution having mixture of products. This solution shows laevorotation. Statement II: Hydrolysis of sucrose gives glucose and fructose. Since the laevorotation of glucose is more than the dextrorotation of fructose, the resulting solution becomes laevorotatory. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
