The majority would be incorrect. Sucrose is not considered an aldose or a ketose, because it is a disaccharide made from glucose (an aldose) and fructose (a ketose). So, it has both properties within its structure. It is a non-reducing sugar.

It is possible that many say sucrose is a ketose because sucrose will fail the Benedict's test, which is designed to detect aldoses.

What happens when you hydrolyze sucrose?

In the hydrolysis of any di- or poly saccharide, a water molecule helps to break the acetal bond as shown in red. The acetal bond is broken, the H from the water is added to the oxygen on the glucose.


If you cut a sugar cube into smaller and smaller parts and you separate out one molecule what would you have?

the molecular formula for gluose is C6H1206. This means that there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, 6 oxygen atoms. Table sugar is made from Sucrose: C12H22O11 ---- To look at this question from a philosophical point of view, this statement challenges the axiom that you can separate something into smaller and smaller parts and still have it retain its identity. This, however, is untrue when it comes to chemistry. As you separate a sugar cube into smaller and smaller cubes, it is still sucrose. But when you are left with one molecule and you separate it, it will no longer be sucrose. Rather, it will be two molecules of glucose (through a hydrolysis reaction). You can separate these glucose molecules further but they will cease to be glucose but become another substance. Therefore, the molecule could be said to be the limit for the retention of a macroscopic object's identity.


What is the charge on a solute molecule surrounded by a hydration shell of water?

Solute molecules can be positively charged, negatively charged, or neutral. For example, dissolving sodium chloride in water produces positively charged sodium cations and negatively charged chloride anions. Dissolving sucrose (table sugar) in water produces only dissolved neutral sucrose molecules.

Which food molecule monosaccharide polysaccharides lipid protein would you eat if you needed a quick boost of energy?

If I thought my blood sugar was low, or if my glucose meter said it was low, (I am a type II diabetic), I would eat something with glucose or take a glucose tablet or two or three, or eat something with sucrose (table sugar), or eat some fruit which has fructose (fruit sugar). If my blood sugar was 120 or higher, I would look for some caffeine. Coffee, black tea, cola, etc.
