Question
The hydrolysis of sucrose depicted below has K = 1.4 × 105. Which of the following is a reasonable assumption about this reaction once equilibrium is established?
sucrose + H2O --------.> glucose + fructose
The equilibrium mixture contains equal amounts of sucrose, glucose, and fructose.
The equilibrium mixture contains mostly glucose and fructose.
The equilibrium mixture contains mostly sucrose.
The equilibrium shifts to the left due to the high value for K.
1)The equilibrium mixture contains equal amounts of sucrose, glucose, and fructose.
2)The equilibrium mixture contains mostly glucose and fructose.
3)The equilibrium mixture contains mostly sucrose.
4)The equilibrium shifts to the left due to the high value for K.
Explanation / Answer
K = 1.4*10^5
isnce K >> 1, reaction will be shifted to right
It will be dominated by product at equilibrium
Answer:
2)The equilibrium mixture contains mostly glucose and fructose.
