its c12h22o11 because H2O is removed during the making of maltose due to condensation reaction. so if u take away 2h and 1o from c12h24o12 it will be c12h22o11 That's true, but WHY? Why is it necessary to form a molecule of water every time you make a molecule of maltose? It's due to the need for a bonding site on each of the two glucose molecules. A glucose molecule is smooth like a chrome bumper--nothing can stick to it, because it doesn't have any open bonding sites. If you want to stick something more substantive than a sticker to a chrome bumper, you need to sand the bumper to create an area that's rough enough to hold glue. If you want to stick two carbohydrates together, you need to rough them up by removing one hydrogen atom from one carbohydrate and a hydroxyl group from another. Once this is done, the hydrogen and hydroxyl will find each other and create a molecule of water, and the two stripped monosaccharides will find each other's open bonding site and create a molecule of maltose.

∙ 15y agoBecause Glucose is a molecular compound. Ionic compounds, who don't form definite molecules, are written in formulas with ratios. Because Glucose exists as a rigid molecule with 6 actual carbon atoms, 12 actual hydrogen atoms, and 6 actual oxygen atoms, therefore, it is written in a molecular formula that way. Ionic compounds, such as NaCl, don't form molecules, they only cohabitate in ratios of 1:1.

Do H20 and CH20 dissolve in each other and why?
No, because water is polar and CH20 is nonpolar. Polar and nonpolar substances don't mix.
Is CH2O a ionic compound?
CH20 is sugar molecule. it is the chemical formula for sugar.
What is the Lewis dot of CH20?
:O: :: H:C:H or, it may be written as follows where each line represents two electrons being shared by two elements: :O: H-C-H All letters should be capitalized on this Lewis Dot structure. For some reason, this software automatically changes the format. Nonetheless, this structure shows single covalent bonds (sharing of electrons) connecting the hydrogen atoms to a single carbon atom, and a double bond attaching the carbon and oxygen atoms. Also, there are two unshared pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom.
What is 6c10h15o7 heatc50h10o 10ch2o?
A chemical formula for a process that takes place while burning wood. More specifically: 6C10H15O7(wood) + heat = C50H10O(char) + 10CH2O(formaldehyde) This is the charring that happens when wood is exposed to heat. Additional gasses are created, including hydrogen and carbon monoxide. These are collectively known as wood gas. Further: H2(hydrogen) + CH20(formaldehyde) + O2(oxygen) = CO2(carbon dioxide) + H2O(water) + CO(carbon monoxide) + C(carbon) This is the actual ignition of the wood gas. It is also what causes the actual flames you see when you burn wood. Finally, it creates the heat that keeps the first process going.

Why does a plant in the dark produce more carbon then one in the light?
Plants release oxygen in the light because they are photosynthesizing, which requires the input of carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. The reaction is:6CO2 + 6H20 + Light = C6H12O6 + 6O2 Essentially, the carbon atom is removed from carbon dioxide molecules and joined with water molecules to produce 6(CH20) or C6H12O6, which is glucose. This releases the O2 molecule, which is the stable state of oxygen gas, from carbon dioxide.2. This is wrong. When respiring, all living organisms breathe out carbon dioxide, unless they're DEAD! They give out CO2 to respire, to answer the question.
What elements are in ch20?
Three elements: One Carbon (C) Two Hydrogens (H) One Oxygen (O)
In what sense is energy from coal actually solar energy?
Coal is derived from plant material which was produced by solar energy during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is roughly H20 + CO2 + solar energy = Ch20 + O2, which converts CO2 and water to oxygen and plant material as the plant grows.
