What percentage of β -D-(+)-glucopyranose is found at equilibrium...

What percentage of β\beta-D-(+)-glucopyranose is found at equilibrium in the aqueous solution?

Options

  1. A64\%
  2. B36%36 \%
  3. C≈100%\approx 100 \%
  4. D≈50%\approx 50 \%

Correct answer

A. 64\%

Step-by-step solution

Ordinary glucose is α\alpha-glucose, with a fresh aqueous solution has specific rotation, [α]D=+110∘[\alpha]_D=+110^{\circ}. On keeping the solution for sometimes, α\alpha-glucose slowly changes into an equilibrium mixture of α\alpha-glucose (36\%)andβand \beta-glucose ( 64%64 \% ) and the mixture has specific rotation +52.5∘+52.5^{\circ}
