`0.0833 `mol of carbohydrate of empirical formula `CH_(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)`

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`therefore 0.0833` mole carbohydrate has hydrogen = 1g.
`therefore 1` mole carbohydrate has hydrogen.
`=1/0.0833 = 12 g`
Empirical Formula `(CH_(2)O)` has hydrogen = 2g
Hence molecular formula of carbohydrate `-(CH_(2)O)_(0) = C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)`
