For ‘invert sugar’, the correct statement(s) is(are)
(Given : specific rotations of (+)-sucrose, (+)-maltose, L-(–)-glucose and L-(+)-fructose in aqueous solution are +66°, +140°, –52° and +92°, respectively).
  1. ‘invert sugar’ is prepared by acid catalyzed hydrolysis of maltose
  2. ‘invert sugar’ is an equimolar mixture of D-(+)-glucose and D-(–)-fructose
  3. specific rotation of ‘invert sugar’ is –20°
  4. on reaction with Br2 water, ‘invert sugar’ forms saccharic acid as one of the products.

Answer

(C) specific rotation of ‘invert sugar’ is –20°
