Answer»

Solution :Glucose is CONVERTED to gluconic ACID when oxidized by `Br_(2)//H_(2)O`and oxidized to saccharic acid in presence of conc. `HNO_(3)`
`{:(""CHO),("|"),(" "(CHOH)_(4)),("|"),(""CH_(2)OH):}overset(Br_(2)"WATER")rarrunderset("Gluconic acid")({:(""COOH),("|"),(" "(CHOH)_(4)),("|"),(""CH_(2)OH):})`
`{:(""CHO),("|"),(" "(CHOH)_(4)),("|"),(""CH_(2)OH):}overset("Conc. "HNO_(3))rarrunderset("Saccharic acid")({:(""COOH),("|"),(" "(CHOH)_(4)),("|"),(""COOH):})`
