Question

Reaction of glucose that indicates that the carbonyl group is present as an
aldehydic group in the open structure of glucose.

Explain. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, it contains a carbonyl group which can be an aldehyde or a ketone. On mild oxidation with bromine water, glucose gives gluconic acid which is a carboxylic acid containing six carbon atoms. This indicates that carbonyl group present in glucose is an aldehydic group

Answer 2

Reaction of glucose with a mild oxidising agent indicates that the carbonyl group is present as an  aldehydic group in the open structure of glucose.

- Glucose gets oxidised to Gluconic Acid ( a carboxylic acid which has six carbons) upon reaction with a mild oxidising agent like bromine water.

- This indicates that the carbonyl group is present as an aldehydic group.
