Vedclass · Answer

(C) Invert sugar is an equimolar mixture of $D-(+)-glucose$ and $D-(-)-fructose$. Since the specific rotation of $D-(-)-fructose$ $(-92.4^{\circ})$ is greater in magnitude than that of $D-(+)-glucose$ $(+52.7^{\circ})$,the resulting mixture has a net negative specific rotation. Therefore,invert sugar is laevorotatory.
