Under what conditions glucose is converted to gluconic acid and saccharic acid?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Glucose is converted to gluconic acid by oxidisation with bromine water and to saccharic acid when oxidation is carried by conc. `HNO_(3)`. Please note that bromine water is a mild oxidising agent as compared to conc. `HNO_(3)` which is comparatively quite strong.
