Yes. Carbohydrates are composed of carbon (carbo-) and water (-hydrate). Therefore, the hydrogen and oxygen are always in a 2:1 ratio. Yes: Almost all carbohydrates all have the empirical formula CnH2nOn, in which n represents an integer. Therefore, the empirical formula corresponds to that of a postulated monohydrate of carbon.
What else can I help you with?
Does carbohydrates contain sulfur?
no. Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What type of atoms do carbohydrates contain?
Carbohydrates fall into the general formula Cx(H2O)y, each molecule containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
What are carbohydrates formed from?
Carbohydrates contain carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.
What carbohydrates are made from?
Carbohydrates (glucides) contain carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.
Carbohydrates contain the elements of?
Usually carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What chemical elements do cabohydrates contain?
Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Does carboyhydrate contain nitrogen?
No. By definition, carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Why are oxygen hydrogen and carbon carbohydrates?
they are carbonates as they are organuc substances and they contain carbon.
Do carbohydrates contain mostly carbon and hydrogen with some oxygen but in no specific ratio?
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.
Which element out of Hydrogen Carbon Oxygen Sulfur and Nitrogen is not found in carbohydrates?
You shouldn't find nitrogen or sulphur in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates only contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
What elements are found in both carbohydrates and water?
Both carbohydrates and water contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates have a specific ratio of these elements, while water is a simple compound with two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
What elements contain carbohydrates?
The three elements found in carbohydrates are hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. Carbohydrates are found in many foods. They help the body produce energy, but too many carbohydrates can cause a person to gain weight.
