An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

‘invert sugar’ is prepared by acid catalyzed hydrolysis of maltose

‘Invert sugar’ is an equimolar mixture of D-(+) glucose and D-(-)-fructose

on reaction with Br₂ water, ‘invert sugar’ forms saccharic acid as one of the products.

specific rotation of ‘invert sugar’ is -20⁰

answer is B, C.

Detailed Solution

Invert sugar is equimolar mixture of D-glucose and D-fructose which is obtained by hydrolysis of sucrose

Specific rotation of mixture is half of sum of sp. Rotation of both components

$\frac{+ 52^{0} + (- 92^{0})}{2} = - 20^{0}$

Question Image D-glucose (sp. rotation +52^o) + D - fructose ( sp. rotation - 92^o)

Sucrose sp. rotation + 66^o
