CH2O is not only the empirical but also the molecular formula for formaldehye. It is also the empirical but not the molecular formula for hydroxyacetaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl formate, 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, and many other compounds.
The empirical formula of glucose is the formula which has the lowest ratio. You can divide all three elements by 6 to give: CH2O.
[Ch2o]×1.5=c1.5 h6 o1.5
Ch2o
yes it is
All carbohydrates have this empirical formula. CH2O
CH2O because you have to divide by the number they all have in common which is 6
C6h12o6
The molecular mass of a compound with the formula CH2O is approx. 30, not 120.
The empirical formula of glucose is the formula which has the lowest ratio. You can divide all three elements by 6 to give: CH2O.
The empirical formula is the lowest whole integer representation of the molecular formula. For example, the empirical formula for C6H12O6 would be CH2O.
The simplest possibility is the same as the empirical formula, which is the molecular formula of formaldehyde, although it would probably more often be written as H2CO.
[Ch2o]×1.5=c1.5 h6 o1.5
Ch2o
yes it is
All carbohydrates have this empirical formula. CH2O
The empirical formula is similar.
