Which compound is a carbohydrate?(1 point)ResponsesC4H12N2C 4 H 12 N 2C3H6O3C 3 H 6 O 3HClO4HClO 4Na2C2O4

Answer 1

The compound that is a carbohydrate among the options provided is C3H6O3 (which is also known as glyceraldehyde).

Carbohydrates typically have the general formula (CH2O)n, where n is the number of carbon atoms, and C3H6O3 fits within the range of simple carbohydrates.

The other compounds do not fit the definition of carbohydrates:

• C4H12N2 is likely an amine.
• HClO4 is perchloric acid, which is not a carbohydrate.
• Na2C2O4 is sodium oxalate, which is a salt and not a carbohydrate.

So, the correct answer is C3H6O3.
