Solution
Verified(a) We have to determine if the OH group, on each carbon atom in open-chain glucose, is primary, secondary, or tertiary.
If alcohol is primary, secondary, or tertiary, depends on the carbon atom, that has the -OH group attached to it. If that C atom is bonded to one other C atom its primary, two other C atoms-secondary, and three other C atoms it's tertiary alcohol.
