Decay of alpha-glucose



Main
Alpha-glucose is dissolved in water. The solution rotates the plane of polarization of light passing through it. As the alpha-glucose slowly changes into beta-glucose, this angle changes, indicating the changes of concentration of the two anomers of glucose. Data of the concentration of glucose is reported as a function of time. More…
