
Hypothesis - Do you think all the sugars will
be sweet? Will they all taste the same?
Explain your answers.
Conclusion questions
Did all the sugars taste the same?
Which was the sweetest?
Which was the least sweet?
Explain why there might have been differences
Isomer lab notes

To make a sucrose C12H22O11 requires putting
a glucose C6H12O6 and fructose C6H12O6
together. Can you explain why the numbers do
not match? It should be C12H24O12
When you put two molecules together you
must remove a water H2O. C12H24O12
- H2O
C12H22O11
