Vedclass · Answer

(B) Gluconic acid is formed by the mild oxidation of $D$-glucose using bromine water $(Br_2/H_2O)$.This process oxidizes only the aldehyde group $(-CHO)$ to a carboxylic acid group $(-COOH)$,while the primary alcohol group $(-CH_2OH)$ remains unaffected.Therefore,it is a partial oxidation product of glucose.Option $A$ is incorrect as gluconic acid forms a lactone (cyclic ester) rather than a hemiacetal.Option $C$ is incorrect because oxidation with $HNO_3$ produces saccharic acid (a dicarboxylic acid).Option $D$ is incorrect because gluconic acid is a monocarboxylic acid.
