The specific rotation of alpha-glucose i...

The specific rotation of `alpha-`glucose is `+112^(@)` and `beta-`glucose is `+19^(@)` and the specific rotation of the constant equilibrium mixture is `+52.7^(@)`. Calculate the percentage composition of anomers `(alpha and beta)` in the equilibrium mixture.

To solve the problem of calculating the percentage composition of the anomers (α and β) in the equilibrium mixture of glucose, we can use the formula for specific rotation, which is given by: \[ [α]_{mix} = \frac{(N_1 \cdot [α]_{α}) + (N_2 \cdot [α]_{β})}{N_1 + N_2} \] Where: - \([α]_{mix}\) is the specific rotation of the equilibrium mixture. ...
