When glucose is heated with nitric acid the
product is
1) Lactic acid 2) Saccharic acid
3) Glycollic acid 4) Oxalic acid
Answers
Answer:
2) Saccharic acid.
Explanation:
Glucose is oxidized with nitric acid and produce Saccharic acid .
Saccharic acid also called glucaric acid.
Answer:
Glucose is oxidized by nitric acid and produces saccharic acid.
Explanation:
Saccharic acid:- Saccharic acid, also known as glucaric acid, is a chemical compound with the formula C6H10O8
Saccharic acid is derived by oxidizing a sugar such as glucose with nitric acid.
Mild oxidation of glucose using the enzyme, glucose oxidase produces gluconic acid, vigorous oxidation of glucose with strong oxidizing agents produces glucaric acid and more vigorous oxidation results in the formation of glucosaccharic acid.
d-Glucaric acid is a naturally occurring aldaric acid, typically found in small amounts in a variety of fruits and vegetables.
Current commercial use of a salt form of d-glucaric acid as a dietary supplement claimed to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and prevent cancer.
