Question

how can you use chromatography to show that the hydrolysis of starch produces only one sugar, glucose

Answer 1

Hi, please consider the answer given below;

You need to consider using starch in what is known as datum line and then after sometime, you should check if there is formation of only one substance in the paper during the entire process.

This then can be checked if glucose is present.

This is normally done using the technique of paper chromatography.
