Hydrolysis of sucrose with dilute aqueous sulphuric acid yields

  1. A 1: 1 D-(+)-glucose; D-(-)-fructose
  2. B 1 : 2 D-(+)-glucose; D-(-)-fructose
  3. C 1: 1 D-(-)-glucose; D-(+)-fructose
  4. D \(1: 2\) D-(-)-glucose; D-(+)-fructose
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1: 1 D-(+)-glucose; D-(-)-fructose

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On hydrolysis with dilute aqueous sulphuric acid, sucrose gives a equimolar mixture of D-(+) glucose and D-(-)-fructose. \[ \mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}_{11}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \stackrel{\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4}{\longrightarrow} \] sucrose…
