Which from following reactions confirms presence of one carbonyl group in glucose?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Reaction of glucose with hydroxylamine () yields an oxime. This reaction is characteristic of aldehydes and ketones, thus confirming the presence of a carbonyl group in glucose.

Heating glucose with HI for a long time forms n-hexane, which confirms that all six carbon atoms are linked in a straight chain.

Reaction of glucose with excess acetic anhydride forms glucose pentaacetate, which confirms the presence of five hydroxyl () groups.

Oxidation of glucose with dilute nitric acid yields saccharic acid, which confirms the presence of a primary alcoholic group.

Answer: When glucose is heated with hydroxyl amine forms glucose oxime.
