2. The sugar glucose has an empirical formula of CH 2O and a relative molecular mass, Mr, of 180.
(a) Calculate the molecular formula of glucose
(b) If an aqueous of glucose is heated with alkaline copper (II) sulfate, a brick-red precipitate is formed. The
precipitate is an oxide of copper. A 1.44g sample of this oxide was found to contain 1.28g of copper.
(i) Calculate the empirical formula of this oxide of copper.
