Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
General Chemical Formula of Carbohydrate is?
A
(CH2O)n
B
(CH2O)2n
C
(CHO)n
D
CnH2nO
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The general chemical formula of carbohydrate is (CH2O)n. For example-in the case of glucose, substitute n=6, then the chemical formula of glucose is C6H12O6.

Detailed explanation-2: -The stoichiometric formula (CH2O)n, where n is the number of carbons in the molecule represents carbohydrates. In other words, the ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:2:1 in carbohydrate molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates can be represented by the stoichiometric formula (CH2O)n ( CH 2 O ) n, where n is the number of carbons in the molecule. Therefore, the ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:2:1 in carbohydrate molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Formaldehyde is the simplest aldehyde made of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen with the formula CH2O.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates have the general molecular formula (CH2O)n. These are simple sugars that serve as fuel molecules as well as fundamental constituents of living organisms, are the simplest carbohydrates, and are required as energy sources. The most commonly known ones are perhaps glucose and fructose.
