Correct answer: A

  1. Identify the reactions of glucose with each reagent

Glucose is an aldohexose. It shows reactions characteristic of both an aldehyde group and multiple hydroxyl groups.


  1. Match (A): Glucose / NaHCO3/Δ\mathrm{NaHCO_3}/\DeltaNaHCO3​/Δ

NaHCO3\mathrm{NaHCO_3}NaHCO3​ reacts with acids stronger than carbonic acid, releasing CO2\mathrm{CO_2}CO2​. Glucose is neither a carboxylic acid nor acidic enough to react with sodium bicarbonate.

Hence: Glucose+NaHCO3→No reaction\text{Glucose} + \mathrm{NaHCO_3} \rightarrow \text{No reaction}Glucose+NaHCO3​→No reaction

So, A→IIA \to IIA→II


  1. Match (B): Glucose / HNO3\mathrm{HNO_3}HNO3​

Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent. It oxidizes both:

  • the aldehyde group at C-1, and
  • the terminal primary alcohol group at C-6

Thus glucose gives the dicarboxylic acid, called saccharic acid.

So, B→IVB \to IVB→IV


  1. Match (C): Glucose / HI/Δ\mathrm{HI}/\DeltaHI/Δ

On prolonged heating with excess HI, glucose is completely reduced to the straight-chain hydrocarbon having 6 carbon atoms: Glucose→ΔHIn-hexane\text{Glucose} \xrightarrow[\Delta]{\mathrm{HI}} \text{n-hexane}GlucoseHIΔ​n-hexane

So, C→IIIC \to IIIC→III


  1. Match (D): Glucose / Bromine water

Bromine water is a mild oxidizing agent. It oxidizes only the aldehyde group of glucose to the corresponding carboxylic acid, gluconic acid.

So, D→ID \to ID→I


  1. Final matching

Thus the correct correspondence is:

  • A→IIA \to IIA→II
  • B→IVB \to IVB→IV
  • C→IIIC \to IIIC→III
  • D→ID \to ID→I

This matches Option A.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: A

Derived answer: A

Hence, the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
