    The molecular formula of glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆

    Explanation:

    Empirical formula:

    It is the simplest formula gives the ratio of smallest whole number of atoms.

    Molecular formula:

    It gives the total number of atoms in a molecule of compound.

    The molecular formula and empirical formula can be related as follow:

    Molecular formula = n * empirical formula

    Given dа ta:

    Empirical formula = CH₂O

    Molecular formula = ?

    It is stated in given problem that molecular formula is the 6 times of the empirical formula.

    Molecular formula = n * empirical formula

    Molecular formula = 6 * CH₂O

    Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

    The molecular formula of glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆.
