Respuesta :

The reaction is called hydrolysis. They produce 2 monosaccharides.

In hydrolysis, disaccharides, which is 2 monosaccharides combined from the opposite reaction called condensation, is broken down back into 2 monosaccharides, the simplest form of sugar, using a water molecule.

For example, Maltose, which is a disaccharide, will be broken down into 2 glucose molecules, which are monosaccharides.

Here, we are required to determine the name of the reaction when you split a disaccharide and what products is gained.

  • The name of the reaction is Hydrolysis.

  • The product of splitting disaccharide such as sucrose are two monosaccharides; Glucose and Fructose.

  • A disaccharide is simply defined as a simple sugar which is made up of two monosaccharide units. Examples of disaccharides include; sucrose, lactose and maltose.

Disaccharides have general formular:

C(12)H(22)O(11)

  • The name of the reaction when a disaccharide is split into its constituent units is Hydrolysis.

For instance, by considering Sucrose which is made up of a glucose unit and a fructose unit each of which have a general formular;

C(6)H(12)O(6)

  • During the formation of disaccharides from two monosaccharide units, the two monosaccharides combine together with the the loss of one molecule of water (Condensation).

Therefore, the product of splitting disaccharide such as sucrose are monosaccharides; Glucose and Fructose.
