Water contains hydrogen and oxygen. Sugar contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Carbohydrates consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, usually in a ratio of 1:2:1 as: (C1H2O1)n
There is no organic molecule with that configuration. All organic molecules have carbon in them.
Different ratio of hydrogen and oxygen
Hydrogen monoxide.
The hydrogen- oxygen ratio is 2:1, which is the same ratio in water.
The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrates is 2H:1O, which is the same ratio as in water molecules.
1:2:1
the ratio in water is two hydrogen to 1 oxygen. In carbohydrates, the empirical formula is Cx(H2O)y where x=y=1 in monosaccharides.
The ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms in a molecule of glucose or any other carbohydrate is two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom, the same as in water. This is why they are called carbohydrates. This is a fundamental property of carbohydrates.
No. Carbohydrates are carbon with water (most of the time). The ratio is 1 carbon to 1 hydrogen and 2 oxygens. The name does tell you: carbo- (carbon) + hydrate (water). So the generic formula is CHO2.I think you have it backwards. The general formula for a carbohydrate is CH2O, not CHO2.
Water contains hydrogen and oxygen. Sugar contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
They have a 2:1 ratio
This is a common ratio for carbohydrate compounds, saccharides, glucosides, cellulose and starch, etc. etc.
