Which of the following statement is correct?

Options

  1. AGluconic acid is a dicarboxylic acid
  2. BGluconic acid is a partial oxidation product of glucose
  3. CGluconic acid can form cyclic (acetal/hemiacetal) structure
  4. DGluconic acid is obtained by oxidation of glucose with HN O 3

Correct answer

B. Gluconic acid is a partial oxidation product of glucose

Step-by-step solution

Here only B is correct and rest are incorrect. As Gluconic acid is a monocarboxylic acid which is formed by the partial oxidation of glucose. As Gluconic acid can not form cyclic (acetal/hemiacetal) structure and oxidation of glucose with H N O 3 gives Saccharic acid.
