Problem

Starch →dilute hydrochloric acid\xrightarrow{\text{dilute hydrochloric acid}} monosaccharide A →yeast, 37∘C\xrightarrow{\text{yeast},\ 37^\circ\text{C}} liquid B + carbon dioxide. Liquid B →heat + potassium dichromate(VI)\xrightarrow{\text{heat + potassium dichromate(VI)}} liquid C + water. Liquid C →liquid B, concentrated sulfuric acid\xrightarrow{\text{liquid B, concentrated sulfuric acid}} liquid D + water. (1) Name, give the formula, and state one use of each substance A to D. (2) Write word and balanced chemical equations for the reactions involved in the formation of liquids B, C, and D. (3) Starch is classified as a natural polymer or biopolymer. Explain the meaning of this statement. (4) Name the processes by which starch is broken down, liquid B is formed, liquid C is formed, and liquid D is formed.
