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 -20o.
  4. on reaction with Br2 water, 'invert sugar' forms saccharic acid as one of the products.

Solution

Invert sugar is an equimolar mixture of D-glucose and D-fructose, which is obtained by the hydrolysis of sucrose
Specific rotation of mixture is the half of the sum of specific rotation of both components,+52o+-92o2=-20o

(specific rotation +52°) +D-fructose (specific rotation -92°) Sucrose specific rotation +66°

D-fructose Br2, H2ONo reaction.
