since this is a dehydration reaction, it means that when two molecules are linked together, there will be one molecule of water $H_2O$ removed.

Therefore, the molecular formula will be $C_18H_32O_16$.

The reaction will be:
$C_6H_11O_5-underbrace(OH+H)_(color(blue)(H_2O))-C_6H_10O_5-underbrace(OH+H)_(color(blue)(H_2O))-C_6H_11O_6->C_18H_32O_16+color(blue)(2H_2O)$
