Q19 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (07 Jan Shift 2) · Chemistry

Which of the following statements is correct?

A
Gluconic acid can form cyclic (acetal/hemiacetal) structure
B
Gluconic acid is a dicarboxylic acid
Correct answer
C
Gluconic acid is a partial oxidation product of glucose
D
Gluconic acid is obtained by oxidation of glucose with $H N O_{3}$

Solution

Gluconic acid is obtained by partial oxidation of glucose by tollen’s reagent or fehling solution or $B r_{2} / H_{2} O$ . Gluconic acid can not form hemiacetal or acetal.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
