    0.1 mole of a carbohydrate with empirical formula \[C{{H}_{2}}O\] contains 1 g of hydrogen. What is its molecular formula?

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

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

    C) \[{{C}_{4}}{{H}_{8}}{{O}_{4}}\]                  

    D)        \[{{C}_{3}}{{H}_{6}}{{O}_{3}}\]

    E)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\because \]0.1 mole of carbohydrate contains\[=1g\]of hydrogen. \[\therefore \] 1 mole of carbohydrate contains\[=\frac{1}{0.1}\] =10g of hydrogen Hence, its molecular formula\[={{C}_{5}}{{H}_{10}}{{O}_{5}}\].
