Empirical formula of C6H12O6

The empirical formula of glucose is CH2O

Explanation:

The formula for glucose is C6H12O6

To calculate the empirical formula of glucose, we need to know the number of mole of each element present in the compound.

Since the moles have been given in the formula of glucose C6H12O6

There are 6 moles of carbon, 12 moles of hydrogen and 6 moles of oxygen

Since we've known the number of moles already,so we pick the mole with the smallest number and divide through with it

C - 6/6 = 1

H - 12/6 = 2

O - 6/6 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula of glucose C6H12O6 is CH2O

your answer would be “dry”

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
