Give the empirical formula of the polysaccharide you formed

Give the empirical formula of the polysaccharide you formed: How are the fatty acids you constructed similar? How do they differ? How many water molecules are produced in the formation of glycerol tributyrate? What is the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen In glycerol tributyrate? How does a triglyceride differ from a carbohydrate?

Solution

Question number 6 :

Polysaccaharides are the polymers of monosaccaharides with high molecular weights. The formula is (C.H₂O)_{n, and considering that the monomeric units are hexoses the formula can be written as} (C₆H₁₀O₅)_n
