Specific rotation of glucose molecule (anomers)
Not what you're looking for?
Q1. ?-D-Galactopyranose has [?]D = +150.7o, and ?-D-galactopyranose has [?]D = +52.8o. When either of them is dissolved in water and allowed to reach equilibrium, the specific rotation of the solution will be +80.2o. What are the percentages of each anomer at equilibrium? (Original formatted question attached.)
I really have no ideal how to attempt this question but I will provide a solution:
150.7 + 80.2 = 230.9
150.7/ 230.9 * 100 % = 65.3%
52.8 + 80.2 = 133
52.8/133 * 100% = 40%
Right away, I know this answer is wrong because the percentages of the two anomers do not add up to 100%.
