Question

what is the action of hot hi reagent on glucose

Answer 1

when glucose react with HI then it

gives n hexane when glucose hearing

with hydrogen iodide it completely

reduced to n hexane .

Answer 2

Glucose is reduced to n-hexane when reacted with hot hydrogen iodide or HI.

C6H12O6+ΔHI→C6H14

Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6. It is one of the most vital carbohydrates used on a daily basis.

HI or Hydrogen iodide is a colorless odorous gas.  It can be made by reducing iodine with hydrazine. It is often used as a reducing agent.
