`0.1 mol` of a carbonhydrate with empirical formula `CH_(2)O` contains `1 g` of hydrogen. What is its molecular formula?A. `C_(5)H_(10)O_(5)`B. `C_(3)H_(6)O_(3)`C. `C_(4)H_(8)O_(4)`D. `C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`0.1` mol of carbohydrate contains `1 g H`, thus, `1` mol of carbohydrate will contain `10 g H`. In other words, `1` molecule contains `10 "amu" H`. The only formula that confirms is `C_(5)H_(10)O_(5)`.
