The structure of D-(+)- glucose is The structure of L-(-)- glucose is

Assertion : Glucose is correctly named as D-(+)-glucose. ' 3 Reason : ‘D’ before the name of glucose represents its dextrorotatory nature.

The d- and l- forms of an optically active compound are called

Assertion : A solution of sucrose in water is dextrorotatory. But on hydrolysis in the presence of a little hydrochloric acid, it becomes laevaorotatory. Reason : Sucrose on hydrolysis gives unequal amounts of glucose and fructose. As a result of this, change in sign of rotation is observed.

Compound which rotates the plane polarised light is known as optically active compound . On the basis of direction of rotation two forms of an optically active compounds are termed as dextro and laevo rotatory . The two are termed as enantiomers . If we have a 1 : 1 mixture of d and l isomers of a given chiral compound , optical rotation of such mixture is zero Such a mixture is optically inactive and is called a recemic modification. The net specific rotation of any mixture of the d and isomers of a given chiral compound is equal to the weighted average of the rotations due to both the isomers Mathematically if can be expressed as : [alpha]_(net) =f_(d) [alpha_(d)] + f_(1) [alpha_(l)] Where f_(a) and f_(l) are fractions of d and l isomers respectively and [alpha_(d)] , [alpha_(l)] are their specific rotations The pure d isomer of certain chiral compound has [alpha]_(d)^(25) =+ 55^(@) .A non racemic mixture of this compound has a net [alpha]_(d)^(25) =- 11^(@) . What is the fractions of this isomer in mixture ?

Assertion (A): Calmel is a chemical compound whereas brass is a mixture. Reason (R ): Calomel always contains 5.6 times as much mercury as chlorine by weight. Brass can be made with widely different ratios of copper and zine.

Assertion: Hydrolysis of sucrose brings about a change in sign of rotation from dextro to laevo. Reason: Hydrolysis always changes the optical rotation of a compound.
