MHT CET Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution

Question

What is the total mass of products obtained when one gram mole of sucrose is hydrolysed?

Options

  1. A. 180\ g
  2. B. 342\ g
  3. C. 170\ g
  4. D. 360\ g

Answer

D. 360\ g

Step-by-step solution

The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of sucrose is: C_ 12 H_ 22 O_ 11 + H_2O C_6H_ 12 O_6 + C_6H_ 12 O_6 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 (C_6H_ 12 O_6) = 180\ g/mol Molar mass of fructose (C_6H_ 12 O_6) = 180\ g/mol Total mass of products = 180 + 180 = 360\ g Answer: 360\ g
