The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to determine the product formed when D-Glucose is treated with bromine water. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the structure of D-Glucose D-Glucose is an aldohexose sugar with the following structure: - The molecular formula is C6H12O6. - The structure can be represented as: \[ \text{CHO - (CHOH)4 - CH2OH} \] This indicates that it has an aldehyde group (-CHO) at one end and multiple hydroxyl groups (-OH). ### Step 2: Identify the reaction with bromine water Bromine water (Br2 in H2O) is a mild oxidizing agent. When D-Glucose is treated with bromine water, the aldehyde group (-CHO) at the first carbon is oxidized to a carboxylic acid group (-COOH). ### Step 3: Write the product structure After the oxidation of the aldehyde group, the structure of the product will be: - The original CHO group (aldehyde) is converted to COOH (carboxylic acid). - The remaining structure of D-Glucose (the four CHOH groups and the CH2OH group) remains unchanged. Thus, the product formed from D-Glucose upon treatment with bromine water is: \[ \text{COOH - (CHOH)4 - CH2OH} \] This structure corresponds to D-gluconic acid. ### Step 4: Compare with given options Now, we need to compare this product structure with the provided options (A, B, C, D). The correct option will be the one that shows a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) at the first carbon. ### Conclusion Upon analyzing the options, we find that only option A contains the -COOH group at the correct position, confirming that the answer is: **Option A: D-gluconic acid** ---
