Answer: (the reaction is shown in the explanation as an image)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires us to write the chemical equation that represents the formation of maltose from glucose.

Maltose is a disaccharide produced when two glucose molecules are combine through a condensation reaction (in which water is also produced). The glucose molecules are bonded by a α glycosidic bond.

/The condensation reaction of glucose to produced maltose can be represented as follows:
