The optical rotation of the `alpha`-form of a pyranose is `+150.7^(@)`, that of the `beta`-form is `+52.8^(@)`. In solution an equilibrium mixture of these anomers has an optical rotation of `+80.2^(@)`. The precentage of the `alpha`-form in equilibrium mixture is :A. `28%`B. `32%`C. `68%`D. `72%`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`150.7 (X) + 52.8 (1-X) = +80.2`
`150.7X + 52.8X = +80.2`
`97.9X = 27.4`
`X = 0.279 = 0.28`
