While working part-time in a lab, the lab technician is asked to grab a jar that contains carbohydrates. Two jars are on the counter, each labeled with their chemical formula. One is labeled C6H1206, and the other is C5H905. a. Which one is the carbohydrate?b. How is the lab technician able to quickly identify the carbohydrate? C. Based on the number of carbons, what group of sugars should this compound be classified as?

(a) The jar labeled with the chemical formula C6H12O6

(b) Based on the number of carbon atoms in the chemical formula

(c) Simple sugars (Monosaccharides)

Explanation:

(a) One of the classes of carbohydrates is monosaccharide. A Monosaccharide is a simple sugar with the chemical formula C6H12O6.

(b) The lab technician was able to quickly identify the carbohydrate because the jar is labeled with the chemical formula of the compound contained in it.

(c) Monosaccharides are simple sugars with six carbon atoms.
