Q
Q: What is the empirical formula of glucose (C6H12O6)?
Solution:
The empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of the elements in a compound. For glucose, it is CH2O.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the number of each type of atom in the molecular formula of glucose, which is C6H12O6.
Step 2: Count the number of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms: There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.
Step 3: Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numbers of atoms. The GCD of 6, 12, and 6 is 6.
Step 4: Divide the number of each type of atom by the GCD: C: 6/6 = 1, H: 12/6 = 2, O: 6/6 = 1.
Step 5: Write the empirical formula using the simplified numbers: The empirical formula is CH2O.
