An unknown sugar is known to equilibrate between two forms, I and II, in aqueous solution. Thisequilibration can be followed by measuring the optical rotation of aqueous solutions of isolatedsamples of form I and II. When species I was dissolved in pure water and the optical rotation was measured, it gave aspecific rotation of [?] = +42.0°. Over time, this value decreased to a constant value of [?]= +0.2°. • When species II was dissolved in pure water and the optical rotation was measured, it gave aspecific rotation of [?] = -54.0°. Over time, this value decreased to constant value of [?]= +0.2°. • In each case, both forms I and II were shown to be present in the mixture at the end of theexperiment. Calculate the ratio of the two forms I and II present at equilibrium and comment on anyassumptions made in making that calculation.
