The number of ions produced by a sucrose (C₁₁H₂₂O₁₁) molecule in solution is zero.
Why is the number of ions in the above molecule zero?
C₁₁H₂₂O₁₁ molecule represents sucrose, which is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose units.
Sucrose is a non-ionic compound, meaning it does not dissociate into ions in solution. Instead, it dissolves as intact sucrose molecules.
That means that the number of ions produced by a sucrose molecule in solution is zero. It does not ionize into cations and anions when dissolved in water or any other solvent; it remains as a neutral molecule.
