Question

what is the emprical formula for fructose (C₆H₁₂O₆)found in honey

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical formula of the Fructose = C₆H₁₂O₆

Now, We can see that the whole number 6 is the multiple of the given chemical formula.

Now,

Molecular Formula = n  × Empirical Formula,

C₆H₁₂O₆ = 6 × Empirical Formula

∴ Empirical Formula = CH₂O
