On treatment of glucose with bromine water the product formed is
- A saccharic acid
- B gluconic acid
- C hutamic acid
- D acetic acid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) gluconic acid
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Glucose is an aldose sugar containing an aldehyde group at the C-1 position and a primary alcoholic group at the C-6 position. Bromine water acts as a mild oxidizing agent. It selectively oxidizes the aldehyde group (\(-CHO\)) of glucose to a carboxylic acid group (\(-COOH\))…
