Could anyone suggest a web site where i could get the structual formulae and the equation for the hydrolosis of lactose
thanks
Certainly! One website where you can find the structural formula and hydrolysis equation for lactose is PubChem. Here's how you can use it:
1. Open a web browser and go to the PubChem website (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/).
2. In the search bar at the top of the page, type "lactose" and press Enter or click the search icon.
3. The search results will display various entries related to lactose. Look for the entry with the correct chemical formula (C12H22O11). Click on the entry to open the lactose compound page.
4. On the lactose compound page, you'll find detailed information about lactose, including the chemical structure. Scroll down until you find the section titled "Chemical and Physical Properties". The structural formula should be displayed there.
5. To find the hydrolysis equation for lactose, scroll further down the page until you reach the "Chemical Vendors" section. Look for the heading "Chemical and Physical Properties". Under this heading, you may find a subsection called "Reactions". In this section, you should be able to find the hydrolysis equation for lactose.
Please note that the location of the structural formula and hydrolysis reaction equation may vary slightly depending on how the compound page is organized and updated on PubChem.
