When `alpha-D` glucose is dissolved in water, it undergoes a partial converion to `beta-D` glucose to exhibit mutarotation. This conversion stops when `63.6%` of glucose is in `beta` form. Assuming that equilibrium has been attained, calculate `K_(c)` for mutarotation.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the equilibrium constant \( K_c \) for the mutarotation of \( \alpha-D \) glucose to \( \beta-D \) glucose, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Reaction The mutarotation of glucose can be represented as: \[ \alpha-D \text{ glucose} \rightleftharpoons \beta-D \text{ glucose} \] ...

D (+) Glucose has melting point 146^@ C and specific rotation [alpha]_(D)^(25) is + 112^@ C. Another D(+) Glucose has melting point 150^@ C and specific rotational [alpha]_(D)^(25) is + 18.7^@ C. The two form have significantly different optical rotation but when an aqueous solution of either form is allowed to stand, it rotation changes. The specific rotation of one form decreases and rotation of other increases until both solution show the same value +52.7^@ . The change in rotation towards an equilibrium value is called mutarotation. Mutarotation is characteristic feature of:
