हिन्दीA dehydration reaction links two glucose molecules to produce maltose. If the formula for glucose is \( \mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_{12}\mathrm{O}_6 \) then what is the formula for maltose?
Correct answer · Option 1
\( \mathrm{C}_{12}\mathrm{H}_{22}\mathrm{O}_{11} \)
Explanation
Maltose is a disaccharide formed by joining two glucose molecules (\( 2\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_{12}\mathrm{O}_6 \)) with the elimination of one water molecule (\( \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} \)), yielding \( \mathrm{C}_{12}\mathrm{H}_{22}\mathrm{O}_{11} \).
