    The change in optical rotation, with time, of freshly prepared solution of sugar is known as          [CPMT 1982, 85; BHU 1997]

    A)                 Rotatory motion              

    B)                 Inversion

    C)                 Specific rotation              

    D)                 Mutarotation

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

           \[\underset{(36%)}{\mathop{\underset{[\alpha ]=+{{112}^{o}}}{\mathop{\alpha -D-\text{Glucose}}}\,}}\,\] ⇌ \[\underset{(0.02%)}{\mathop{\underset{{{\text{ }\!\![\!\!\text{ }\alpha \text{ }\!\!]\!\!\text{ }}_{\text{D}}}=+{{52}^{o}}}{\mathop{\text{Equilibrium mixture}}}\,}}\,\] ⇌     \[\underset{(64%)}{\mathop{\underset{{{[\alpha ]}_{D}}=+{{19}^{o}}}{\mathop{\beta -D-\text{Glucose}}}\,}}\,\] Glucose has two forms a and b. When either of these two is dissolved in water and allowed to stand, it gets converted to an equilibrium mixture of a and b forms.
