The chemical formula is very variable.
Paper is a mixture but its main constituent is cellulose, which is a complex carbohydrate with chemical formula (C6H10O5)n
Alfa-cellulose (the true cellulose) is not dissolved in NaOH.
Chewing gum is not a chemical but a mixture of chemicals.
(C6H10O5)nThe chemical formula for starch is C6H12O6. The monomer of starch is the same as that one of the cellulose. They have the units of the sugar glucose.
The structural formula of sucrose is C12H22O11. Sucrose's common name is table sugar, and is made up of two sugar units.
Wood is basically cellulose, the chemical formula of which is (C6H10O5)n
A book is made from paper (cellulose with some additives); the chemical formula of cellulose is (C6H10O5)n.
Yes, the chemical formula of cellulose is (C6H10O5)n.
The principal component of paperboard is cellulose.
No. Cellulose is plant-based.
cellulose gum is in toothpaste because it creates a thick toothpaste
