How does the molecular formula for sucrose compare to maltose?

The molecular formula of sucrose is C12H22O11, while the molecular formula of maltose is C12H22O11. Both molecules have the same number and types of atoms (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), but they are arranged differently. Sucrose is a disaccharide made of glucose and fructose, while maltose is a disaccharide made of two glucose molecules.


A glucose molecule contains carbon hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio 6 to 12 to 6 What is the molecular formula for glucose?

Molecular formulas can not be determined from information about atomic ratios only. If the ratios stated are atomic ratios, then the empirical formula of the compound is CH2O. If the questioner meant, "A glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms ...", the molecular formula is C6H12O6.


Is vinegar an organic or inorganic compound substance?

The ingredient in vinegar that gives the characteristic taste and odor is ethanoic acid (acetic acid). This is an organic compound with the formula: CH3.COOH In vinegar, ethanoic acid makes up only some 5% of the total, the rest being mainly water, which is inorganic. So, vinegar is dilute acetic acid and is an organic compound substance.
