0.1 mole of a carbohydrate with empirical formula `CH_(2)O` contains 1 g of hydrogen . What is its molecular formula ?

A

a)`C_(5)H_(10)O_(5)`

B

b)`C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)`

C

c)`C_(4)H_(8)O_(4)`

D

d)`C_(3)H_(6)O_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`because0.1` mole of carbohydrate contains =1 g of hydrogen.
`therefore` 1 mole of carbohydrate contains `=(1)/(0.1)=10` g of hydrogen
Hence , its molecular formula `=C_(5)H_(10)O_(5)`.
