Sucrose is dextrorotatory but the mixture obtained after hydrolysis is laevorotatory. Explain.

Explanation

Sucrose is dextrorotatory. On hydrolysis, it produces a mixture of glucose and fructose having specific rotation $+52.5^{\circ}$ and $-92.4^{\circ}$. Thus, the respectively net resultant mixture become laevorotatory. Hence, the mixture is laevorotatory and product is known as invert sugar.
