A dehydration reaction links two glucose molecules to product maltose. If the formula for glucose is C6H12O6 then what is the formula for maltose?

  1. A
    C12H20O10
  2. B
    C12H24O12
  3. C
    C12H22O11
  4. D
    C12H24O11
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: C

Option (c) 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 $\times$ 2 $$\mathrel{\mathop{\kern0pt\longrightarrow} \limits_{{H_2}O}} $$ C12H22O11
