Answer:
a) [tex]C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\rightarrow C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} + H_{2}O[/tex]
b) condensation reaction
c) monomer
d) water
Explanation:
a) The balanced equation is:
[tex]C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}\rightarrow C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} + H_{2}O[/tex]
b) In the given reaction two molecules of glucose combine to form maltose along with a molecule of water. Reactions in which smaller molecules combine to form a larger molecule along with water as byproduct are typical of condensation reactions.
c)Glucose is a monomer which combines to form a polymer; maltose.
d) To summarize, when two monomers are joined, a molecule of water is always removed.
