Identify the correct statements. A. Glucose exists in two anomeric forms. B. Anomers of glucose differ in configuration at C -1 in cyclic hemiacetal structure. C. Melting point of -anomer of glucose is greater than -anomer. D. Specific rotation of -anomer is +19° while for -anomer is +112° E. and -anomers of glucose are prepared by crystallization of saturated glucose solution at 303 K and 371 K respectively. Choose

Step-by-step solution

Statement A is correct because glucose exists in two anomeric forms, -D-glucose and -D-glucose. Statement B is correct because the two anomers differ only in the configuration of the hydroxyl group at C -1 , which is the anomeric carbon in the cyclic hemiacetal structure. Statement C is incorrect because the melting point of the -anomer is 419 K, which is less than the melting point of the -anomer ( 423 K). Statement D is incorrect because the specific rotation of the -anomer is +112^ and that of the -anomer is +19
