Question

8. Glucose is a carbohydrate that contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The empirical formula of glucose is CH2O and its molar mass is 180.12 g/mol. Find the molecular formula of glucose

Answer 1

molecular formula = C6H12O6

Step-by-step explanation:

n(CH2O) = 180.12

30n = 180.12

n = 180.12/30

n = 6.004

n = 6

Molecular Formula = 6(CH2O)

molecular Formula = C6H12O6
