Chapter 23, Problem 15QAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical equation for the formation of glucose and fructose from the reaction of sucrose and water needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Sucrose is a natural sugar having the molecular formula C12H22O11. It is also known as table sugar.

It is a dissaccharide which consists of glucose and fructose units joined through glycosidic linkage. Thus, glucose and fructose are monosaccharides for it.

On reaction with water, the glycosidic bond between the two monomers breaks down and produces glucose and fructose.
