Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry Question 139

Question: 0.0833,mol of carbohydrate of empirical formula CH2O contain 1g of hydrogen. The molecular formula of the carbohydrate is [DCE 2003; BVP 2004]

Options:

A) C5H10O5

B) C3H4O3

C) C12H22O11

D) C6H12O6

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

0.0833 mole carbohydrate has hydrogen = 1g
1 mole carbohydrate has hydrogen =10.0833=12g Empirical Formula (CH2O) has hydrogen =2g Hence n=122=6 Hence molecular formula of carbohydrate =(CH2O)6

=C6H12O6
