Identify molecular formula of laevulose .
Options
- AC ₆ H ₁₂ O ₆
- BC ₅ H ₁₀ O ₅
- CC ₄ H ₈ O ₄
- DC ₃ H ₆ O ₃
Correct answer
A. C ₆ H ₁₂ O ₆
Step-by-step solution
Fructose ( C ₆ H ₁₂ O ₆ ) is a laevorotatory ketohexose and it shows laevorotation. [ ]_D²⁰=-92.4^ Thus, fructose is also called laevulose.
