Question

How can you write c6h12o6 in the simplest form that illustrates the proportion of elements in monosaccharides?

Answer 1

The answer is
(CH2O)6

Answer 2

Answer: The simplest formula for monosaccharides is $(CH_2O)_6;n=6$

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are defined as the sugars that are present in the simplest forms or which cannot be further hydrolyzed. They are the the basic units os sugar.

This class of sugars consist of carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms.

The general formula for a monosaccharide is $(CH_2O)_n;n\geq 3$

We are given a sugar having chemical formula $C_6H_{12}O_6$

So, the simplest form of the given sugar will be $(CH_2O)_6;n=6$
