Vedclass · Answer

(C) The general empirical formula for most carbohydrates is $(CH_2O)_n$. Galactose $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ follows this formula where $n=6$. Maltose $(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11})$ is a disaccharide formed by two glucose units minus a water molecule,and it closely approximates the ratio. Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose,also following the $(CH_2O)_n$ ratio. Digitoxose is a deoxy sugar with the chemical formula $C_6H_{12}O_4$. Because it lacks an oxygen atom compared to standard hexoses,it does not fit the $(CH_2O)_n$ empirical formula.
