    \[0.0833\,mol\] of carbohydrate of empirical formula \[C{{H}_{2}}O\] contain \[1g\] of hydrogen. The molecular formula of the carbohydrate is [DCE 2003; BVP 2004]

    A) \[{{C}_{5}}{{H}_{10}}{{O}_{5}}\]

    B) \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{4}}{{O}_{3}}\]

    C) \[{{C}_{12}}{{H}_{22}}{{O}_{11}}\]

    D) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\because \] 0.0833 mole carbohydrate has hydrogen = \[1g\] \[\therefore \] 1 mole carbohydrate has hydrogen \[=\frac{1}{0.0833}=12g\] Empirical Formula \[(C{{H}_{2}}O)\] has hydrogen \[=2g\] Hence \[n=\frac{12}{2}=6\] Hence molecular formula of carbohydrate \[={{(C{{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}\] \[={{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}\]
