Question
Hydrolysis is the process of using water to break down a molecule into two parts. It is usually a type of decomposition reaction where one reactant is water, where water is used to break chemical bonds in the other reactant. It can be considered as reverse of a condensation reaction.
The general formula of a hydrolysis reaction is:
XY + H2O → XH + YOH
(i) On hydrolysis with dilute acids, sucrose yields an equimolecular mixture of α –D glucose and β–D-fructose.
(ii) The hydrolysis of lactose gives β–D-galactose and β–D-glucose as final products.
