Answer:
CH
Explanation:
We have to obtain the mass of carbon and hydrogen in CO2 and H2O respectively.
For carbon in CO2;
0.845 * 12/44 = 0.23 g
For hydrogen in H20;
0.173 * 2/18 = 0.019 g
We convert the masses to moles of carbon and hydrogen
For carbon - 0.23/ 12 = 0.019 moles
For hydrogen - 0.019/1 = 0.019 moles
Dividing by 0.019 moles for carbon and hydrogen we have the emperical formula of the compound as CH
The correct option is D.
The reactants that combine together to form glucose are carbon dioxide, water and energy from the sun. Six molecules of carbon dioxide combine with six molecules of water in the presence of sunlight to form glucose. The chemical equation for the reaction is given below"
6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight = C6H12O6.
