glucose on prolonged heating with HI gives
Hii
Glucose on prolonged heating with Hydroiodic Acid ( HI ) results in the formation of n-hexane in presence of Red Phosphorus.
The formation of n-hexane indicates that all the six carbon atoms present in glucose are linked in a straight chain.
Hope this helps
Thanks!
