The hydrolysis of table sugar (sucrose) occurs by the following overall reaction sucrose + water → glucose + fructose and is first order in sucrose concentration with a rate constant of 3.50 × 10⁻³ min⁻¹. If a 0.500 M solution of sucrose is allowed to react for 345 min, what will be the average rate of production of glucose over that period of time in units of M/min?
