Question

A dehydration reaction links two glucose molecules to product maltose. If the formula for glucose is C6H12O6C_6H_{12}O_6 then what is the formula for maltose?

1

C12H20O10C_{12}H_{20}O_{10}

2

C12H24O12C_{12}H_{24}O_{12}

3

C12H22O11C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}

4

C12H24O11C_{12}H_{24}O_{11}

Step-by-Step Solution

Option (3) is correct because maltose is a disaccharide formed by dehydration process i.e., synthesis by elimination of one water molecule to form a glycosidic bond in between two glucose molecules. So, its molecular formula is. C6H12O6×2H2OC12H22O11C_6H_{12}O_6 \times 2 \xrightarrow{-H_2O} C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}
