Carbohydrates are compounds containing only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen having the atomic ratio of `H : O` as `2 : 1`. When heated in the absence of air, these compounds decompose to form carbon and water.
a. If `310 g` of a carbohydrates leaves a residue of `124 g` of carbon on heating in absence of air, whatis the empirical formula of the carbohydrate?
If 0.0833 mole of hte carbohydrate contains `1.0 g` hydrogen , what is the molecular formula of the carbohydrate?
