For 'invert sugar', the correct statement(s) is (are)
(Given: specific rotations of +-sucrose, +-maltose, L---glucose and L-+-fructose in aqueous solution are + 66°, +140°, –52° and + 92°, respectively)

  • A
    'invert sugar' is prepared by acid catalyzed hydrolysis of maltose.
  • Correct answer
    B
    'invert sugar' is an equimolar mixture of D-+ glucose and D--- fructose.
  • Correct answer
    C
    specific rotation of 'invert sugar' is -20o.
  • D
    on reaction with Br2 water, 'invert sugar' forms saccharic acid as one of the products.

Solution

Invert sugar is an equimolar mixture of D-glucose and D-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,+52o+-92o2=-20o
Figure

(specific rotation +52°) +D-fructose (specific rotation -92°) Sucrose specific rotation +66°

Figure

D-fructose →Br2, H2ONo reaction.

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