Q.

The H0 for the mutarotation of glucose in aqueous solution

αD-glucose (aq)β - D-glucose (αq)

has been measured in a microcalorimeter and found to be -1.16 KJ. mol-1. The enthalpies of solution of the two forms of glucose have been determined to be 

αD glucose (s)αD glucose (aq)

ΔH=10.72kJmol1

βD glucose (s)βD glucose (aq)

ΔH=4.68kJmol1

Calculate H0 (in kJ/mol) for the mutarotation of solid α-D-glucose to solid β-D-glucose :
