Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical equation for the reaction of maltose and water to produce glucose needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Maltose is a type of sugar having the molecular formula C12 H22 O11 . It is also known as maltobiose or malt sugar.

It is a dissaccharide which consists of 2 units of glucose joined via glycosidic linkage. Thus, glucose is a monosaccharide here.

On reaction with water, the glycosidic bond between the two monomer breaks down and produces glucose.
