JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 7th April Morning Shift - No. 13)
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: D-(+)-glucose + D-(+) fructose $\xrightarrow{-\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}$ Sucrose
$$\text { sucrose } \xrightarrow{\text { hydrolysis }} \mathrm{D}-(+) \text { glucose }+\mathrm{D}-(+) \text { fructose }$$
Statement II: Invert sugar is formed during sucrose hydrolysis
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Explanation
In Statement I, the reaction shown is incorrect. During the hydrolysis of sucrose, D-(+)-glucose and D-(-)-fructose are produced. However, the statement incorrectly specifies D-(+)-fructose, making Statement I inaccurate.
Statement II is accurate. When sucrose undergoes hydrolysis, it results in the formation of invert sugar, a mixture of glucose and fructose. This change involves the inversion of optical rotation, which is where the term "invert sugar" comes from.
