To solve the question of identifying two compounds that are not carbohydrates but have the formula \( C_x(H_2O) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Formula The formula \( C_x(H_2O) \) suggests that the compounds have a carbon-to-water ratio. Carbohydrates typically have the general formula \( C_n(H_2O)_n \), where \( n \) is a whole number. However, we are looking for compounds that fit the \( C_x(H_2O) \) formula but are not classified as carbohydrates. ### Step 2: Identify Non-Carbohydrate Compounds 1. **Formaldehyde**: The chemical formula for formaldehyde is \( CH_2O \). It can be expressed as \( C_1(H_2O) \) since it contains one carbon atom and one water molecule equivalent. Formaldehyde is classified as an aldehyde and is not a carbohydrate. ...
