A) inversion
B) esterification
C) hydration
D) saponification
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
On hydrolysis, sucrose gives an equimolar mixture of \[D(+)\]glucose and \[D(-)\]fructose. \[\underset{+}{\mathop{{{C}_{12}}}}\,{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{(+)glucose}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,+\underset{(-)fructose}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,\] Here, the configuration of sucrose changes (gets inverted) after hydrolysis, thus its hydrolysis is called inversion.
