Answer» Correct Answer - A 0.1 mol of cabohydrate with empirical formula `CH_(2)O` contains 1 g of hydrogen. `:.` 1 mol of carbohydrate with empirical formula In `CH_(2)O` atomic ratio of `C:H:O=1:2:1` with 10 g atoms of H, g atoms of carbon = 5 and g atoms of oxygen =5 `:.` The molecular formula of the carbohydrate is `C_(5)H_(10)O_(5)`. |
