What is the chemical formula of wool?

Answer 1

There's none. Wool came from sheep!

Wool belongs to a group of proteins (chemicals!) known as keratins. Unlike cotton and the majority of synthetic fibres, wool does not have a homogenous structure. Wool fibres have highly complex physical and chemical compositions.

Answer 2

Cotton wool is cotton fibers, and cotton fibers are mostly cellulose with some other materials in it. In that light, cotton doesn't have a chemical formula. But we know that cellulose is a chain of C6H10O5 molecules, and we write C6H10O5)m for the chain. Lignin, which is a complex mixture of a number of chemical compounds, and some other substances will be found in cotton as well.

wool is resistant to most organic acids, but strong alkalies can damage it.
