Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The specific rotation of an equilibrium mixture of fructose with the given optical rotation of equilibrium mixture of glucose is to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Glucose and fructose are the structural isomers having same molecular formula but different structural formula.  These are the types of sugars containing same orientation of hydroxyl groups attached to it.

Specific rotation is the measure of extent of rotation occurs in the molecule by passing a plane polarized light from its solution.
