One mole of sucrose on hydrolysis gives:
Correct answer: B. One mole of glucose and one mole of fructose
- A. One mole of glucose and 2 moles of fructose
- B. One mole of glucose and one mole of fructose
- C. Two moles of glucose
- D. Two moles of fructose
Explanation
When one mole of sucrose (having molecular formula C12H22O11) undergoes hydrolysis, it gets converted into one mole of glucose and one mole of fructose (both having molecular formula C6H12O6). The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of sucrose is as follows:

About Macromolecules
Proteins are classified by shape, composition and structure, from primary amino acid sequence to secondary, tertiary and quaternary organisation, and their biological roles are linked to this structure. Enzymes are examined as protein biocatalysts, including active sites, substrate specificity, activation energy, cofactors and factors affecting activity.
