What is the empirical formula of a polysaccharide that has 5 sugars?(C6H10O5)n
A
C12H22O11
B
C6H12O6
C
C6H10O5
D
C30H50O25
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polysaccharides, meanwhile, have a general formula of Cx(H2O)y where x is usually a large number between 200 and 2500. When the repeating units in the polymer backbone are six-carbon monosaccharides, as is often the case, the general formula simplifies to (C6H10O5)n, where typically 40 ≤ n ≤ 3000.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrates composed of long chains of monosaccharide units joined by glycosidic linkages with a general formula of (C6H10O5)n, 40≤n≤3000.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diethyl pyrocarbonate | C6H10O5-PubChem.

Detailed explanation-4: -The chemical formula of Glucose is C6H12O6. Glucose is a monosaccharide containing an aldehyde group (-CHO). It is made of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms.
