JEE Advanced 2025 Chemistry question
A linear octasaccharide (molar mass = 1024 g mol⁻¹) on complete hydrolysis produces three monosaccharides: ribose, 2-deoxyribose and glucose. The amount of 2-deoxyribose formed is 58.26 % (w/w) of the total amount of the monosaccharides produced in the hydrolyzed products. The number of ribose unit(s) present in one molecule of octasaccharide is . Use: Molar mass (in g mol⁻¹): ribose = 150, 2-deoxyribose = 134, glucose = 180; Atomic mass (in amu): H = 1, O = 16
Answer: 2
Solution
Hydrolysis of the 7 glycosidic bonds adds 7 H₂O: total monosaccharide mass = 1024 + 7 × 18 = 1150 g per mole. 2-Deoxyribose = 0.5826 ×
