Is sucrose ionic or covalent?
covalent. It's a dissacharide made of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule joined via a glycosidic bond
What is the sugar content of sucrose?
Sucrose (table sugar) is 100% sugar, although it is composed of two separate sugars. Glucose and fructose molecules, are chemically joined to form sucrose molecules.
What happens when mixing Sugar and Water?
Yes. Sugar dissolves in water.
What common molecule is always formed whenever monosaccharides are joined?
Water is formed when monosaccharides are joined.
What color is sugar on the pH scale?
The pH scale is numeric and has no inherent colors. Various indicators have different colors and operate over different ranges; for example, phenolphthalein turns pink at high pH and is colorless in acidic or neutral solutions, but litmus is pinkish in acid solutions and blue in basic solutions.
Sucrose is formed when glucose is joined to fructose?
The disaccharide molecule, sucrose is not formed from two glucose molecules. Sucrose is formed from one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule.
Sucrose is formed when glucose is joined to fructose by a?
Glycosidic Linkage
Which molecule is formed from a molecule of glucose joined to a molecule of fructose?
lactose
Why does sucrose not react to Benedicts when glucose and fructose its components do?
Fructose and glucose are joined by their glycosidic bond in such a way as to prevent the glucose isomerizing to aldehyde, or the fructose to alpha-hydroxy-ketone form. This stops it reacting to Benidict's reagent. However sucrose indirectly produces a positive result with Benedict's reagent if heated with dilute hydrochloric acid prior to the test, although after this treatment it is no longer sucrose. ;-)

Which type of sugar is fructose?
Fructose is a simple sugar or monosaccharide. Sugar or table sugar is sucrose, which is a disaccharide that is 50% fructose and 50% glucose joined by a chemical bond. High fructose corn syrup is a type of sugar made from corn. It is compositionally similar to sugar as well as nutritionally similar to sugar. All three are caloric sweeteners with 4 calories per gram.
What type of carbohydrate is fructose?
yes. no..it is a sugar! Complex Carbohydrates are made up of two or more simple sugars linked together. The following carbohydrates are disaccharides. Disaccharides are compounds that contain a bond between carbon(1) of one sugar and a hydroxyl group at any position on the other sugar. Sucrose is a disaccharide that yields 1 equiv of glucose and 1 equiv of fructose on acidic hydrolysis.
When two glucose molecules are joined together what is the name of the new molecule?
sucrose
What does glucose and fructose form when joined together?
saccharose also known as sugar
Why c12h22o11 is not considered a mineral?
A mineral is a naturally occurring substance that is solid and stable at room temperature, representable by a chemical formula, usually abiogenic, and has an ordered atomic structure- Definition from Wikipedia. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharide sugars. A monosaccharide is the smallest unit of sugar, mono meaning 1. Sucrose is commonly called table sugar and is a disaccharide. A disaccharide is a sugar that is made up of two sugar units, di meaning 2. Sucrose is produced as glucose and fructose are joined together by a condensation reaction. In the process a water molecule is eliminated. See the following equation. C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 => C12H22O11 + H2O glucose + fructose => sucrose + water This process does not occur spontaneously in nature. So we cannot define it as a mineral.
What monomer make up sucrose?
Sucrose is a disaccharhide; each monomer unit consists of one molecule of glucose & one molecule of fructose (each of which have the same chemical formula of C6H12O6); they become joined together by a condensation reaction, meaning that one molecule of water (H20) is lost between them. The chemical formula for sucrose therefore becomes C6H22O11
