Question:

Chemical formula of a leaf?

I have to do this for chemistry, and so far, have had very little luck at allI was given examples like aluminum foil being made of Al and sugar being made of C6H12O6I don't exactly need to know it as the formula like that, just a scientifical name would be niceThank you very much °A°;;;

Answer:

you could try a large quantity of yeast
A leaf is mostly cellulose, and cellulose is a polymer made of sugar, just like starch or glycogen, so probably (C6H12O6)n (with that n being a subscript) would be fine, or perhaps (CH2O)n to emphasize that its cellulose is a carbohydrate(A carbon-hydrate - get it?) u
