Which of the following statement is correct?
Options
- AGluconic acid is a dicarboxylic acid
- BGluconic acid is a partial oxidation product of glucose
- CGluconic acid can form cyclic (acetal/hemiacetal) structure
- 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.
