Which of the following chemical equations describes a hydrolysis reaction? Which of the following chemical equations describes a hydrolysis reaction? disaccharide → monosaccharide + monosaccharide + H2O monosaccharide + monosaccharide → disaccharide + H2O disaccharide + H2O → monosaccharide + monosaccharide monosaccharide + monosaccharide + H2O → disaccharide

Option C, disaccharide + H2O → monosaccharide + monosaccharide

Explanation:

In a hydrolysis reaction, the water molecule act as a chemical agent that breaks the chemical bond of a large molecule to form smaller molecules.

Disaccharide is a bigger molecule as compared to a monosaccharide. Or in other world disaccharide is twice the size of monosaccharide. Thus, in a hydrolysis process, water must react with disaccharide to produce two smaller monosaccharide.

Therefore, option C is correct.
