One mole of each of glucose and fructose require x and y moles of periodic acid respectively, for oxidation. Hence, x/y is
1 mole of equimolar mixture of ferric oxalate and ferrous oxalate will require x mole of KMnO4 in acidic medium for complete oxidation, x is
The oxidative cleavage of compounds Glucose (A) and Fructose (B) with HIO4 leads to the formation of acids and aldehydes. The ratios of formic acid to formaldehyde for (A) and (B) respectively are
