Wood is not composed of a bunch of identical molecules, so it has no chemical formula. It turns out that wood contains lignite, an organic polymer which is a name applied to a group of complex organic chemicals. Wood also contains cellulose, which is a polysaccharides with (C6H10O5)n as its formula.
Wikipedia has more information on wood, and a link is provided. We also gave you links to the posts on lignite and cellulose, too. Hey, this is WikiAnswers. We've got your back.
Aye that's correct
Wood is a loose term generally given to a collection of lignified cells and therefore has no chemical composition.
The question can therefore be altered to give the chemical composition for lignin (the macromolecule responsible for wood as we know it). Unfortunately this does not yield any useful answers either as lignin is a wildly varied and indefinitely large macromolecule with no set structure.

The main constituents of wood are cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. You might wish to visit the wikipedia page for wood for more information.
There is none, because wood is a multi-compound material.
There are some main components like e.g. cellulose ( C6H10O5)n , n=large number, >1000. and also lignine, water, minerals, other carbohydrates than cellulose etc.
There is no simple chemical formula for that, since wood is not a simple chemical compound, but a combination of many different things. You can write a chemical formula for the burning of cellulose, though, since much of the wood consists of that; take out all the water molecules you can, then combine each of the remaining carbon molecules with one O2 molecule from the air, to form carbon dioxide; and combine 4 at a time of the remaining hydrogen atoms, with 1 O2 molecule from the air, to form H2O.An additional complication is that part of the carbon might burn partially, forming carbon monoxide - and of course, you don't know what percentage that would be. Better just to ignore this part.
Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, has a chemical formula of CH3OH, or CH4O.
the chemical formula for wood doesnt really exist because trees take in the carbon from our breath.... so yea theres carbon in it...
CH2O is the chemical makeup and formula of wood, this chemical formula is known as carbohydrate.
Wood is a mixture and so does not have a chemical formula.
The main component of wood is cellulose, which has the formula (C6H10O5)n The "n" is a variable.
6C10H15O7+heat=C50H10O + 10CH2O
my formula is Q
H2O is 2 hydrogens plus 1 oxygen and that makes the chemical formula for water.
Any chemical formula; beans are not chemical compounds.
The chemical formula for oxide is O2−
The chemical formula of Taconite is Fe3O4.
the chemical formula for a ribose is C12H22O11.
CH2O is the chemical makeup and formula of wood, this chemical formula is known as carbohydrate.
Wood alcohol is methanol, which has the formula CH3OH.
Wood is basically cellulose, the chemical formula of which is (C6H10O5)n
Wood is not a compound of fixed composition and therefore does not have any single chemical formula.
There is no single compound that makes up wood. About 40% of wood is cellulose. Click on the related link to learn more about the composition of wood.
Formulae refer to the makeup of chemical compounds. Wood is composed of many compounds and organic chemicals. Hence, there is no formula for wood.
There is no chemical formula for a mixture. Water has a chemical formula, soft drink, milk, yogurt, wood does not. Rust has a chemical formula, however, yogurt, ice cream, pancakes have a recipe - no chemical formula.It is a mixture, not a compound
This is the formula for Methanol, also known as wood alcohol. (Most of the Methanol on the market is actually sourced from petroleum, not wood, as it's cheaper and quicker to get it that way.)
Wood alcohol is not an element, so it doesn't have an atomic number. It does have a chemical formula, which is CH4O.
Energy has no chemical formula as it is not a chemical.
No wood is not a chemical property.
