When a crystalline sample of α-glucopyranose is dissolved in water and the specific rotation is measured immediately, the observed rotation is +112°. When the same amount of βglucopyranose is dissolved, the observed rotation is +18.7°. However, over time, at room temperature, both solutions reach a specific rotation of +52.7°. Explain why these two solutions reach the same specific rotation over time.
