The equilibrium constant of mutarotation of

\alpha-D

-glucose to

\beta-D

-glucose is 1.8. If specific rotation of

\alpha-D

-glucose is

112^{\circ}

and that of mixture is

59^{\circ}.

The specific rotation of

\beta-D

-glucose is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

+29.6^\circ

Option C (+29.6°) is correct because the equilibrium constant and the specific rotation of the mixture can be used to calculate the specific rotation of beta-D-glucose.
