MCQ
$0.0833\,mol$ of carbohydrate of empirical formula $C{H_2}O$ contain $1\,g$ of hydrogen. The molecular formula of the carbohydrate is
  • A
    ${C_5}{H_{10}}{O_5}$
  • B
    ${C_3}{H_4}{O_3}$
  • C
    ${C_{12}}{H_{22}}{O_{11}}$
  • ${C_6}{H_{12}}{O_6}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${C_6}{H_{12}}{O_6}$
d
(d) $0.0833$ mole carbohydrate has hydrogen = $1\,g$

$\therefore $ $1$ mole carbohydrate has hydrogen $ = \frac{1}{{0.0833}} = 12\,g$

Empirical Formula $(C{H_2}O)$ has hydrogen $ = 2\,g$

Hence $n = \frac{{12}}{2} = 6$

Hence molecular formula of carbohydrate $ = {(C{H_2}O)_6} = {C_6}{H_{12}}{O_6}$
