Sucrose is a polymer of glucose. That is, it is a combination of glucose molecules. The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6 [6 Carbons, 12 Hydrogens, and 6 Oxygens], so since sucrose is made of glucose, it must contain Carbon.
The chemical composition is determined by chemical analysis.
The oxidation number of carbon in sucrose is +4. In sucrose (C12H22O11), the carbon atoms are bonded to oxygen atoms through double bonds, causing the oxidation state of carbon to be +4.
No. Sucrose contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Sucrose is not an element itself, but it is made up of a mixture of elements. Sucrose is actually a compound and is, what we know, table sugar.
The mass percentage of carbon in sucrose can be calculated by dividing the mass of carbon by the total mass of sucrose and then multiplying by 100. In this case, the mass percentage of carbon in sucrose would be (8.4 g / 20.0 g) x 100 = 42%.
Carbon is an element. Sucrose, a sugar, is a compound ( a combination of elements ). Sucrose is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Pure carbon is found in two forms, graphite (pencil lead) and diamond. Carbon and sucrose are very different in properties except for the fact that both can be burned in the presence of oxygen to yield CO2 (and water in the case of sucrose).
Well, honey, sucrose is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbon makes up about 40% of the molecular weight of sucrose, so in 100.0g of sucrose, you'd have about 40.0g of carbon. Just remember, sugar might be sweet, but chemistry sure ain't.
Sucrose
What is left after heating sucrose is charcoal or solid carbon (C2). Heating causes sucrose to decompose as referred to this chemical reaction: C12H22O11 + O2 (the air is filled with it) - Heated --> CO2 + H2O + C2
carbon chains--sucrose is glucose and fructose, about 50/50.
The answer is 3,424 mol sucrose.
glucose and fructose lose water molecule and form sucrose.... The first carbon ring of glucose and the second carbon ring of fructose join. the ist carbon of glocose and 4th carbon of fructose form the glycosidic linkage....
