Calculate the percentages of α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose present at equilibrium from the specific rotations of α-D-glucose, β-D-glucose, and the equilibrium mixture. Compare your values with those given in Section 15.9. (Hint: The specific rotation of the mixture equals the specific rotation of α-D-glucose times the fraction of glucose present in the α-form plus the specific rotation of β-D-glucose times the fraction of glucose present in the β-form.)
