Since bromine water is an oxidising agent so it will oxidise aldehyde group to carboxylic acid group. Thus glucose is converted to gluconic acid.

 

                                                   

Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6. It is overall the most abundant monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates. It is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight.
