We are aware that the chemical formula for glucose is C 6 H 12 O 6 . It has six carbon atoms and one CHO group, making it a monosaccharide. Therefore, the CHO group will oxidise to COOH COOH when bromine water, a weak oxidising agent, is introduced to glucose. The resultant substance is gluconic acid.
This chemistry shift can be expressed as:
