Which from following pairs of carbohydrates produce equal quantity of glucose on hydrolysis per mole?

Options

  1. ASucrose and Lactose
  2. BLactose and Maltose
  3. CSucrose and Maltose
  4. DRaffinose and Maltose

Correct answer

A. Sucrose and Lactose

Step-by-step solution

Hydrolysis of carbohydrates releases constituent monosaccharides, with glucose yield depending on molecular structure. Sucrose hydrolyzes to glucose and fructose: Sucrose + H 2 O Glucose + Fructose, yielding 1 mole glucose per mole sucrose. Lactose hydrolyzes to galactose and glucose: Lactose + H 2 O Galactose + Glucose, yielding 1 mole glucose per mole lactose. Maltose , composed of two glucose units, hydrolyzes to two glucose molecules: Maltose + H 2 O 2 Glucose, yielding 2 moles glucose per mole maltose. Raffino
