Question

Decomposition of Sucrose Reacting with water in an acidic
solution at 35°C, sucrose (C12H22O11) decomposes into
glucose (C6H12O6) and fructose (C6H12O6)* according to
the law of uninhibited decay. An initial amount of 0.40 mole
of sucrose decomposes to 0.36 mole in 30 minutes. How much
sucrose will remain after 2 hours? How long will it take until
0.10 mole of sucrose remains?
