Dextrorotatory

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Sucrose is dextrorotatory in nature with a specific rotation of $+66.5^{\circ}$.Upon hydrolysis,it produces an equimolar mixture of $D-(+)$-glucose (dextrorotatory,$+52.5^{\circ}$) and $D-(-)$-fructose (laevorotatory,$-92^{\circ}$),resulting in an overall laevorotatory mixture known as invert sugar.The hydrolysis reaction is:$C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} + H_2O \xrightarrow{H^+} C_6H_{12}O_6 (	ext{Glucose}) + C_6H_{12}O_6 (	ext{Fructose})$
