To calculate the enthalpy change for the hydrolysis of 2 moles of sucrose, we first need to determine the enthalpy change for the hydrolysis of 1 mole of sucrose. The balanced chemical equation for the hydrolysis of sucrose is:C12H22O11 + H2O  C6H12O6  glucose  + C6H12O6  fructose Since the enthalpy change of hydrolysis for glucose and fructose are -2801 and -2802 kJ/mol respectively, we can calculate the enthalpy change for the hydrolysis of 1 mole of sucrose by adding the enthalpy changes for glucose and fructose:H1 = H glucose  + H fructose H1 = -2801 kJ/mol +  -2802 kJ/mol H1 = -5603 kJ/molNow, we can calculate the enthalpy change for the hydrolysis of 2 moles of sucrose:H2 = 2 * H1H2 = 2 *  -5603 kJ/mol H2 = -11206 kJTherefore, the enthalpy change for the hydrolysis of 2 moles of sucrose is -11206 kJ.
