Question

A biochemist measured the hydrolysis of sucrose (C₁2H₂2011) as a function of time which is given by the following reaction yielding glucose and fructose: C12H22011 (s) + H₂O (1)→ CH12O6 (aq)

+CH12O6 (aq) Using the provided data and plot: A) (4 pts 3 sig figs) Determine the time (hr) for the reaction to hydrolyze (breakdown) 75% of the sucrose. B) (2 pts) This reaction is first order in sucrose. Other studies have revealed that the reaction is second order overall in the reactants but appears first order. Briefly explain this apparent first order behavior using a kinetics-based justification In[sucrose] -0.8- -1.0- -1.2- m= -0.210 hr¹ Time (hr) Time (hr) [sucrose] In[sucrose] 0.000 0.501 -0.691 0.500 0.451 -0.796 1.000 0.404 -0.906 1.500 0.363 -1.013 3.000 0.267 -1.321 Q9 Plot of In[sucrose) versus time (hr) with slope and kinetic data
