Answer #1

Let the fraction of beta anomer be x ,then fraction of alpha anomer will be 1-x as open chain fraction is very low so we can neglect it.

Specific rotation of only Beta anomer=+1000°

Specific rotation of only alpha anomer=+400°

Specific rotation of both alpha and beta form=880°

We can say that,

x(1000)+(1-x)400=880

x=0.8

So, the percentage of beta form will be 80%
