what is the empirical formula of starch?
Starch is represented by the formula C6 H10 O5 Therefore there are six Carbon's present, ten Hydrogens, and five oxygen's present in a single molecule of Starch. We can determâ¦ine the molecular weight of the Starch molecule if we know the weight of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxyegen in g/mol. And then multiple those individual g/mol weights by the number of each present in the molecule which can be determined by the formula.
