Calculate the percentages of a - d -glucose and b - d -glucose present at equilibrium
Chapter 21, Problem 59(choose chapter or problem)
Calculate the percentages of a - d -glucose and b - d -glucose present at equilibrium from the specifi c rotations of a - d -glucose, b - d -glucose, and the equilibrium mixture. Compare your values with those given in Section 21.10 . ( Hint: The specifi c rotation of the mixture equals the specifi c rotation of a - d -glucose times the fraction of glucose present in the a -form plus the specifi c rotation of b - d -glucose times the fraction of glucose present in the b -form.)
