2. The empirical formula of a compound is CH20 and molecular formula is:
(a) CH2O
(b) C2H4O2 (c) C3H8O3
(d) C&H004​

Answer 1

Answer:

CH2O is a glocose and it's molecular formula is

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let's find the Molar mass of Carbon=12.

Molar mass of Hydrogen=1.

Molar mass of Oxygen=16.

Mass of CH2O =12+2(1)+16=30.

Molecular weight of compound given is 180.

So, the molecular weight is 180/30 =6.

⇒ Molecular formula of compound is C6H12O6
