C6H12O6. 6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen, 6 atoms of oxygen.
It is a molecular species with the formula C6H12O6
Glucose
isomers
No, the molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6. The formula C6H24O12 does not correspond to any known molecule.
The empirical formula is CH2O. To find the molecular formula, you need to calculate the empirical formula weight (30 g/mol) and divide the molecular mass (180.0 g/mol) by the empirical formula weight to get 6. This means the molecular formula is (CH2O)6, which simplifies to C6H12O6, the molecular formula of glucose.
It is a molecular species with the formula C6H12O6
The molecular formula of glucose is C6H12O6. This means that a glucose molecule is composed of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms. By counting the number of each type of atom in the molecular structure of glucose, you can determine its molecular formula.
C6H12O6
The chemical compound for glucose is C6H12O6, representing its molecular formula.
Glucose is C6H12O6 Sucrose is C12H22O11
The empirical formula of glucose is the formula which has the lowest ratio. You can divide all three elements by 6 to give: CH2O.
Fructose or fruit Sugar (also levulose or laevulose) is a 6-carbon polyhydroxyketone. It is an isomer of glucose, meaning both have the same molecular formula (C6H12O6), but they differ structurally. Glucose is an aldehyde i.s.o. ketone.For structural formula cf. 'Related links'
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.
Glucose
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.
isomers
The molecular formula of a compound is a multiple of its empirical formula, so the molecular formula is a multiple (in this case, 6 times) of CH2O, giving C6H12O6. This molecular formula corresponds to glucose, a common sugar.
