What are the hydrolysis products of (i) Sucrose (ii) Lactose ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Both sucrose and lactose are dissaccharides. Sucrose on hydrolysis gives one molecule each of glucose and fructose but lactose on hydrolysis gives one molecule each of glucose and galactose.
`underset("Sucrose")(C_12 H_22 O_(11)) +H_(2)Ooverset(H_(3)O^(+))underset("or Invertase")to underset(D-(+)-"Glucose")(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))+underset(D-(-)-"Fructose")(C_(6)H_(12O_(6))`
`underset("Lactose")(C_12 H_22 O_(11)) +H_(2)Ooverset(H_(3)O^(+))underset("or Lactose")to underset(D-(+)-"Glucose")(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))+underset(D-(+)-"Galactose")(C_(6)H_(12O_(6))`
