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

    A) 50%

    B) \[\approx 100%\]

    C) 36%

    D) 64%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Ordinary glucose is a-glucose, with a fresh aqueous solution having specific rotation,\[{{[\alpha ]}_{D}}=+111{}^\circ \]. On keeping the solution for sometime, a-glucose slowly changes into an equilibrium mixture of \[\alpha \]-glucose (36%) and (\[\beta \]-glucose(64%) and the mixture has specific rotation \[+\text{ }52.5{}^\circ \].
