Question

Maltose on treatment with dilute HCI gives:
(A) D – Fructose (B) D – Galactose
(C) D – Glucose and D – Fructose (D) D – Glucose

Answer 1

Hydrolysis of maltose with dilute HCL gives only

(D) D-Glicose

Answer 2

•Maltose on treatment with dilute HCI gives:(D) D – Glucose

• As Maltose is a carbohydrate and it is a disaccharide and it contains D- glucose which is an example of monosaccharide , thats why when dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with maltose, hydrolysis process happens, and gives only D - Glucose.

The total reaction is given below.
