Question

Which among the following is a product of hydrolysis of one mole raffinose?

• A. 1 mole Glucose + 1 mole Fructose + 1 mole Galactose
• B. 1 mole Fructose + 2 moles Glucose
• C. 2 moles of Glucose
• D. 2 moles Glucose + 1 mole Fructose + 1 mole Galactose

Hint:

Raffinose is a trisaccharide made up of galactose, glucose, and fructose units.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand raffinose structure.
Raffinose is a trisaccharide composed of three monosaccharide units linked together.

Step 2: Components of raffinose.
Raffinose consists of one molecule each of glucose, fructose, and galactose.

Step 3: Hydrolysis reaction.
On hydrolysis, raffinose breaks into its constituent monosaccharides in equimolar amounts.

Step 4: Conclusion.
Hydrolysis of one mole of raffinose produces one mole each of glucose, fructose, and galactose.
