For 'invert sugar', the correct statement(s) is (are)
(Given: specific rotations of sucrose, maltose, glucose and fructose in aqueous solution are and , respectively)
- A 'invert sugar' is prepared by acid catalyzed hydrolysis of maltose.
- B 'invert sugar' is an equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose.
- C specific rotation of 'invert sugar' is .
- D on reaction with water, 'invert sugar' forms saccharic acid as one of the products.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) specific rotation of 'invert sugar' is .
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Invert sugar is an equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose, which is obtained by the hydrolysis of sucrose
Specific rotation of mixture is the half of the sum of specific rotation of both components,

(specific rotation ) fructose (specific rotation ) Sucrose specific rotation

.
Specific rotation of mixture is the half of the sum of specific rotation of both components,
