Abstract:

The optical rotation measurement of the rate constant of sucrose hydrolysis reaction is one of the very classic chemical kinetic experiments in the university physical chemistry laboratory. In this paper, the addition of the optical rotation of the sucrose hydrolysis system, the reversibility of the sucrose hydrolysis reaction, and the effect of temperature on the reversible reaction equilibrium are discussed in depth. This article verifies the approximate processing in the current laboratory teaching, such as approximating the sucrose hydrolysis reaction as a first-order reaction, ignoring the reversed reaction, and the experimental conditions for obtaining the complete hydrolysis solution of sucrose. This article expands the teaching content of the sucrose hydrolysis experiment and deepens the students' understanding of optical rotation, chemical reaction order, thermodynamic dynamic balance and other knowledge.

Key words: Sucrose hydrolysis, Reversible reaction, Reaction order
