Q.

α -maltose can be hydrolysed to glucose according to the following reaction.
C12H22O11+H2O2C6H12O6
Given: Standard enthalpies of formation of C12H22O11(aq) = -2238kJ /mol
Standard enthalpies of formation of H2O(l) =-285kJ /mol
Standard enthalpies of formation of C6H12O6 (aq) = -1263kJ /mol

Time (min)050100
Conc. of α-maltose (M)4.01.00.25

Detailed Solution

Hydrolysis of Maltose
C12H22O11+H2O2C6H12O6ΔH=?
....................................
= 2 (–1263) – {–2238 – 285}
= – 2526 + 2523 = – 3
Since H = –Ve, the reaction is exothermic so increase of temperature decreases the degree of hydrolysis 
In the first 50 min, reduction in concentration
of α - maltose = 1/4 = 0.25
50min=0.251=0.25
 it follows 1st order kinetics
