Hi
I have two questions regarding hydrolysis of sucrose

1) What is the significance of a linear plot in kinetic analysis ?

would this be because of the concentration of the HCL added with the rate?
the concentration goes up and the rate increases as well?


2) Why isn't the hydrolysis of sucrose reaction base catalysed ?

since HCl acid is added to the solution it would be and acid reaction and would the HCL stop the hydrolisis of sucrose at some point? im assuming base cannot do that.

uma

linear plot can be with negative slope or positive slope
we take out different linear plots to check for order of the reaction

uma

hydrolysis of sucrose breaks the glycosidic bonds which can be accelerated by using acids
It is the acetal cleavage by H+ ions
