D-Glucose on reaction in the presence of catalyst periodic acid HIO4 converts into formic acid and formaldehyde.
The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is
C6H12O6 ---HIO4---> HCHO+5HCOOH
One molecule of glucose in the presence of periodic acid on conversion gives 5 molecules of formic acid and 1 molecule of formaldehyde.
