उत्तर
On oxidation with nitric acid, glucose as well as gluconic acid both yield a dicarboxylic acid, saccharic acid. This indicates the presence of a primary alcoholic (–OH) group in glucose.

\phantom{.......}\ce{CHO}\phantom{..............}\ce{COOH}\phantom{............}\ce{COOH}\phantom{....}\\
\phantom{......}|\phantom{...................}|\phantom{..................}|\phantom{........}\\
\phantom{.....}\ce{(CHOH)4 ->[Oxidation] (CHOH)4 <-[Oxidation] (CHOH)4}\\

\phantom{......}\ce{CH2OH}\phantom{............}\ce{\underset{acid}{\underset{Saccharic}{COOH}}\phantom{............}\ce{\underset{acid}{\underset{Gluconic}{CH2OH}}}\phantom{..}}\\
\end{array}\]
Acetylation of glucose with acetic anhydride gives glucose pentaacetate which confirms the presence of five –OH groups. Since it exists as a stable compound, five –OH groups should be attached to different carbon atoms.

\phantom{...}\ce{CHO}\phantom{..................}\ce{CHO}\phantom{......}\ce{O}\phantom{..........}\\
