$HNO_3$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Glucose $(CHO(CHOH)_4CH_2OH)$ on oxidation with concentrated nitric acid $(HNO_3)$ gets oxidized to a dicarboxylic acid,which is known as saccharic acid (glucaric acid).The reaction is as follows:$CHO(CHOH)_4CH_2OH \xrightarrow{HNO_3} COOH(CHOH)_4COOH$Thus,$HNO_3$ is the reagent that oxidizes glucose into saccharic acid.Hence,option $(C)$ is the correct answer.

$A$. $\alpha-1,4$	$I$. Amylose
$B$. $\beta-1,4$	$II$. Cellulose
$C$. $\alpha-1,4, \alpha-1,6$	$III$. Amylopectin
