All sugars are carbohydrates, with the general ratio Cx(H2O)y. There are thus 2 moles of H atoms to 1 mole of C atoms.

In a carbohydrate, the ratio of carbon (C): hydrogen (H): oxygen (O) atoms is typically 1:2:1. This general formula represents the basic structure of most carbohydrates, with examples like glucose (C6H12O6) and sucrose (C12H22O11) following this ratio.

The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms in a carbohydrate is 2H:1O.

Examples:

monosaccharides: C6H12O6

disaccarides: C12H22O11

Which sugar. There are many different sugars and the ratio can vary. If you mean sucrose, there are 12 carbons and 11 oxygens, so ratio of carbon to oxygen is 12:11
