Vedclass · Answer

(A) Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose linked by a glycosidic bond.
Upon hydrolysis with dilute $HCl$,the glycosidic bond breaks to yield an equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose.
The chemical reaction is: $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} + H_2O \xrightarrow{H^+} C_6H_{12}O_6 (	ext{glucose}) + C_6H_{12}O_6 (	ext{fructose})$.
Therefore,the ratio of glucose to fructose formed is $1: 1$.

If sucrose is boiled with dilute $HCl$ in an alcoholic solution,the ratio in which glucose and fructose are formed is
