The correct observation in the following reactions is: Sucrose —(Glycosidic bond cleavage / Hydrolysis)→ A + B —(Seliwanoff's reagent)→ ?

1. Formation of blue colour
2. Formation of violet colour
3. Formation of red colour
4. Gives no colour

Correct answer: Formation of red colour

Solution

The correct option is right because when sucrose is hydrolyzed, it breaks down into glucose and fructose. Fructose reacts with Seliwanoff's reagent to produce a red color, indicating the presence of a ketose sugar.
