What is the total mass of products obtained when one gram mole of sucrose is hydrolysed?
Options
- A180 g
- B342 g
- C170 g
- D360 g
Correct answer
D. 360 g
Step-by-step solution
The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of sucrose is: C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O C₆H₁₂O₆ + C₆H₁₂O₆ One mole of sucrose reacts with one mole of water to produce one mole of glucose and one mole of fructose. Molar mass of glucose ( C₆H₁₂O₆ ) = 180 g/mol Molar mass of fructose ( C₆H₁₂O₆ ) = 180 g/mol Total mass of products = 180 + 180 = 360 g Answer: 360 g
