    The change in optical rotation with time, of freshly prepared solution of sugar is known as:

    A)  mutor rotation                

    B)  rotatory motion

    C)  inversion       

    D)         specific rotation

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The optical rotation of sugar (sucrose) is\[+\,66.5{}^\circ \]. On hydrolyzing with dilute acid, it gives glucose and fructose \[({{[\alpha ]}_{D}}=-92.3{}^\circ ).\] Thus, direction of \[({{[\alpha ]}_{D}}=+\,52.5{}^\circ )\] optical rotation changes.
