2. Sucrose is a chemical, and the hydrolysis product combination is in nature. a) dextrorotatory; dextrorotatory b) laevorotatory; laevorotatory c) laevorotatory; dextrorotatory d) dextrorotatory; laevorotatory
Solution : Sucrose is dextrorotatory. On hydrolysis, it produces a mixture of glucose and fructose having specific rotation `+52.5^(@)` and `-92.4^(@)`. Thus, the respectively net resultant mixture become laevorotatory.
