Questions
Explain the preparation of glucose from sucrose.
Write chemical reaction for the preparation of glucose from sucrose.
Advertisements
Solution
- Sucrose is hydrolysed by warming with dilute hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid for about two hours.
- This hydrolysis converts sucrose into a mixture of glucose and fructose.
- Glucose is separated from fructose by adding ethanol during cooling.
- Glucose being almost insoluble in alcohol crystallizes out first. The solution is filtered to obtain crystals of glucose. The reaction can be given as,
\[\ce{\underset{Sucrose}{C12H22O11} + H2O ->[H+][\Delta] \underset{Glucose}{C6H12O6} + \underset{Fructose}{C6H12O6}}\]
