Glucose reacts with bromine water to produce: |
Glyceraldehyde Gluconic acid Saccharic acid Glutaric acid |
Gluconic acid |
The correct answer is option 2. gluconic acid. Glucose reacts with bromine water to produce gluconic acid. Bromine water is a mild oxidizing agent, and it oxidizes the aldehyde group in glucose to a carboxyl group. The reaction is as follows: Glyceraldehyde, saccharic acid, and glutaric acid are not produced in this reaction. |
