Glucose on oxidation with bromine water yields gluconic acid. This reaction confirms the presence ofA. six carbon atoms linked in straight chainB. secondary alcoholic group in glucoseC. aldehyde group in glucoseD. primary alcoholic group in glucose

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Glucose on oxidation with bromine water yields gluconic acid. This reaction confirms the presence of aldehyde group in glucose.
`{:(" "CHO,," "COOH),(underset|overset|(" "(CHOH)_4)+[O],overset(Br_2-H_2O)to,underset|overset|(" "(CHOH)_4)),(underset" Glucose"(" "CH_2OH),,underset" Gluconic acid"(" "CH_2OH)):}`
Here, `Br_2-H_2O` act as an oxidising agent and led to the oxidation of glucose into gluconic acid
