The product of the reaction between four glucose molecules will be: C24H42O21 + 3H2O (option C).
WHAT IS DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS?
- Dehydration synthesis is a kind of reaction in which smaller molecules are joined together to form a complex molecule accompanied by the release of water molecule(s).
- The reaction of glucose molecules to form larger molecules of carbohydrate is an example of dehydration synthesis.
- In this reaction between four glucose molecules as follows:
C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 + C6H12O6
- Three molecules of water (H20) will be lost or released in this reaction. That is, 3 × H2O = H6O3
- Ideally, 4 × C6H12O6 = C24H48O24 should be produced, however, when H6O3 is removed, we have: C24H42O21
Therefore, C24H42O21 + 3H2O is the product of the reaction between four glucose molecules.
