Q7 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2016 (Paper 2) · Chemistry
For 'invert sugar', the correct statement(s) is (are)
(Given: specific rotations of sucrose, maltose, glucose and fructose in aqueous solution are and , respectively)
(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.
- Correct answerB'invert sugar' is an equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose.
- Correct answerCspecific rotation of 'invert sugar' is .
- Don reaction with water, 'invert sugar' forms saccharic acid as one of the products.
Solution
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

.
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'B', 'C'.
