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

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of sucrose is:

$C_{12} H_{22} O_{11} + H_{2} O \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$

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 ( $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ ) = $180 g/mol$

Molar mass of fructose ( $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ ) = $180 g/mol$

Total mass of products = $180 + 180 = 360 g$

Answer: $360 g$
