[CsH(2s-2)O(s-1)]n.H2O

with s = 3 up to 6 , (5 and 6 being most common)

with n = 1 (monosaccharides) up to 'thousands' (polysaccharides)

Eg.

[C6H10O5]n.H2O poly-hexoses like starch

What is sorbitol made of?

Sorbitol is a sugar - both in common usage and chemically. Sugars also fall into the general category of carbohydrates. The sugars/carbohydrates are composed of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon and have the general formula: Cx(H2O)y - where x and y are specific quantities. You can see from the formula the derivation of the name carbohydrate.

If C7HxO2 is a carbohydrate what is the value of x?

Well, isn't that a happy little question! Carbohydrates have a general formula of Cx(H2O)y, where x and y are the number of carbon and water molecules, respectively. Since the formula you provided, C7HxO2, is close to the general formula, we can see that x should be 12 to match the ratio of carbon and water molecules in a carbohydrate. Keep up the great work, my friend!
