The use of sucrose in food processing depends in part on osmotic pressure, symbol Π. In dilute solution, Π varies with concentration in a similar way to gas behaviour. The equation Π V = nRT can be used, where n is the number of moles of solute molecules contained in volume V at temperature T. The number of moles of solvent molecules should be ignored. Under aqueous acidic conditions sucrose is hydrolysed. C12H22O11 + H2O → CH2OH(CHOH)4CHO + CH2OH(CHOH)3COCH2OH sucrose glucose fructose What can be deduced from this hydrolysis equation?
