Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. 'invert sugar' is an equimolar mixture of D - (+) glucose and D - (-) - fructose.

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, $\dfrac{+ {52}^{o} + \left(- {92}^{o}\right)}{2} = - {20}^{o}$
For 'invert sugar', the correct statement(s) is (are) (Given: specific rotations of (+) - sucrose, (+) - maltose, L -

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

For 'invert sugar', the correct statement(s) is (are) (Given: specific rotations of (+) - sucrose, (+) - maltose, L -

$D - fructose\overset{B{r}_{2}, {H}_{2}O}{\to}Noreaction$ .

For 'invert sugar', the correct statement(s) is (are) (Given:...
