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.

  • When a metallic oxide is dissolved in water, then the solution formed has a high concentration of which ions

    A
    `H^(+)`
    B
    `H_(3)O^(+)`
    C
    `OH^(-)`
    D
    `M^(+)`

  • 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. What percentage of beta -D-(+) glucopyranose found at equilibrium in the aqueous solution?
