Change in optical rotation of sucrose solution is due to? A.specific rotation B.inversion C.rotatory motion D.mutarotation

During mutarotation of beta -D-glucose in aqueous solution angle of optical rotation

The net optical rotation of meso-tartaric acid is ......... due to ........ compensation.

The change in optical rotation with time of freshly prepared solution of sugar is known as :

A tube of sugar solution 20 cm long is placed between crossed nicols and illuminated with light of wavelength 6xx10^(-5) cm If the optical rotation produced is 13^(@) and the specific rotation is 65^(@) determine the strength of the solution

The net optical rotation of a racemic mixture is zero due to external compensation. True/False

The instrument which can be used to measure optical activity, i.e., specific rotation:

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:
