JEE PYQ: Biomolecules And Polymers Question 30
Question 30 - 2020 (07 Jan Shift 2)
Which of the following statements is correct?
(1) Gluconic acid can form cyclic (acetal/hemiacetal) structure
(2) Gluconic acid is a dicarboxylic acid
(3) Gluconic acid is a partial oxidation product of glucose
(4) Gluconic acid is obtained by oxidation of glucose with $\text{HNO}_3$
Show Answer
Answer: (3)
Solution
Gluconic acid is obtained by partial oxidation of glucose by mild oxidising agent e.g. Tollen’s reagent, Fehling solution, $\text{Br}_2$ water. Gluconic acid can not form hemiacetal or acetal.
