Question

What is the hydration enthalpy of sucrose?

• A. \( -100 \, \text{kJ/mol} \)
• B. \( -200 \, \text{kJ/mol} \)
• C. \( -300 \, \text{kJ/mol} \)
• D. Cannot be determined

Hint:

For complex substances like sucrose, hydration enthalpy can vary based on experimental conditions. Always check standard values from reliable sources when not experimentally provided.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Hydration enthalpy is the amount of heat released when one mole of a substance dissolves in water. The hydration enthalpy of sucrose depends on various factors, such as the physical form of sucrose (solid, liquid), the temperature, and pressure conditions. Typically, the hydration enthalpy of sucrose is not readily available without experimental data or context. Therefore, the exact value cannot be determined based on the information provided.
