1 answer

Let's determine the elemental composition of each compound given:

  1. C6H12O6:

    • Carbon (C): 6 atoms
    • Hydrogen (H): 12 atoms
    • Oxygen (O): 6 atoms
  2. C12H22O11:

    • Carbon (C): 12 atoms
    • Hydrogen (H): 22 atoms
    • Oxygen (O): 11 atoms
  3. C5H10O5:

    • Carbon (C): 5 atoms
    • Hydrogen (H): 10 atoms
    • Oxygen (O): 5 atoms

Now, let's fill in the table with the correct elemental composition for each compound based on the analysis above.

| Compound | Carbon Atoms | Hydrogen Atoms | Oxygen Atoms | |------------|--------------|----------------|---------------| | C6H12O6 | 6 | 12 | 6 | | C12H22O11 | 12 | 22 | 11 | | C5H10O5 | 5 | 10 | 5 |

From the information listed, here are the correct elemental compositions combined into one table:

  • C6H12O6: 6 Carbon, 12 Hydrogen, 6 Oxygen
  • C12H22O11: 12 Carbon, 22 Hydrogen, 11 Oxygen
  • C5H10O5: 5 Carbon, 10 Hydrogen, 5 Oxygen

Now, let's note the summary from the elemental counts you provided:

  • 6 carbon atoms (C6H12O6)
  • 12 carbon atoms (C12H22O11)
  • 5 carbon atoms (C5H10O5)
  • 12 hydrogen atoms (C6H12O6)
  • 22 hydrogen atoms (C12H22O11)
  • 10 hydrogen atoms (C5H10O5)
  • 6 oxygen atoms (C6H12O6)
  • 11 oxygen atoms (C12H22O11)
  • 5 oxygen atoms (C5H10O5)

This compares each compound's elemental composition accordingly.
