Question

General Formula: (CH2O)n where n is the number of carbon atoms. example: The sugar glucose is a small carbohydrate; its n equals 6. Therefore, its chemical formula is __________

Answer 1

Answer: C6H12O6

Explanation: glucose is the simplest sugar. As N is the number of the carbon atom, when we multiply 6 into the inner basic formula then (CH2O) convert into C6H12O6. As the number of carbon atom changed the formula of sugar also changed.
