What is the ratio between the number of hydrogen atoms and the number of oxygen in a disaccharide?

The ratio of oxygen to hydrogen in a polysaccharide is independent of the type of monosaccharides that it consists of. The ratio does not depend on the number of carbons in the monosaccharide. Thus, for all polysaccharide compounds the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1.

How many times larger is the number of hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms in disaccharide?
the basic formula is C6H12O6, so there are twice as many number of hydrogen-to-oxygen atoms. This applies to carbon atoms as well when compared to hydrogen atoms.
What elements are used to make sucrose?
12 Atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of Hydrogen, and 11 atoms of Oxygen THANX
How and why do the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in water differ from bonds between hydrogen and carbon?
Hydrogen bonding exists between hydrogen and oxygen in water, becuase of the huge electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen. This arises, due to the huge electron affinity of oxygen. Such interaction is not possible between carbon and hydrogen, as athe carbon is not as electronegative as oxygen.
Is hydrogen oxygen ionic or covalent?
The bond between hydrogen and oxygen is covalent.
What is 2C12H22O11?
It is a carbohydrate... a Disaccharide. Example: sucrose
What elements make up disaccharide?
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen. No large ones at all.

Why water different from its components?
this because the chemical reaction between Oxygen & Hydrogen obviously the Hydrogen bonds between Oxygen & Hydrogen.
Is hydrogen oxygen ionic or covalent?
The bond between hydrogen and oxygen is covalent.
Molecular formula for disaccharide?
The molecular formula of a disaccharide not double because in order to form a disaccharide so you need to lose a molecule of water so there will be two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom less in the disaccharide.
What is the equation for the reaction between oxygen and hydrogen?
Hydrogen + oxygen → water2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
What is the relationship between the number of hydrogen atom and number of oxygen atom in disaccharide?
As far as I understand, there is no direct correlation between the number of hydrogens and the number of oxygens in a disaccharide. This is because monosaccharides (which form disaccharides) can be very different from one an other. Monosaccharides may be either an aldose or a ketose. These have different heads (aldehyde and ketone) with different numbers of both oxygens and hydrogens. Monosaccharides can also vary in length, which adds to the diversity of oxygen and hydrogen count. So disaccharides can be composed of two aldoses, two ketose, or one of each. Not to mention the possibility of sugar alcohols, sugar esters, deoxy sugars, or other derivatives. All these dynamics makes defining a distinct and simple relationship between H and O atom counts very challenging, if not impossible.
