The investigator will find carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are the elements in HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). It's all C6H12O6 chemically speaking, but there is a catch.
HFCS is a blending of 1) corn syrup (which is 100% glucose) that has been processed to increase its fructose content, and 2) corn syrup (which is all glucose). In the world of biochemistry, we can have a number of compounds with the same chemical formula, but that have different molecular structures. Both fructose and glucose each have the same chemical formula as the other (C6H12O6). But by rearranging some of the molecules and then producing a "blend" of the two sugars, we now have HFCS as a food product you can add to just about anything you like.

How do make a percent sucrose solution?
To make a percent sucrose solution, dissolve a specific weight of sucrose in a specific volume of water. For example, to make a 10% sucrose solution, dissolve 10 grams of sucrose in 90 mL of water. The formula to calculate the amount of sucrose needed is: (percent sucrose/100) x volume of solution = weight of sucrose (in grams).
What are the solvent and solute in a solution containing 100 grams of ethanol and 3 grams of sucrose?
Ethanol is the solvent and sucrose is the solute.
Is sucrose soluble in sodium hydroxide?
No, sucrose is not soluble in sodium hydroxide without water.
Are carbon hydrogen and oxygen carbohydrates?
No. On their own they are elements. Carbohydrates do consist of carbon hydrogen and oxygen, but these elements can combine to make other compounds as well.
What cannot be decomposed by chemical means 1 sodium 3 sucrose 2 ethanol 4 water?
Water cannot be decomposed by chemical means. Unlike sodium, sucrose, and ethanol, which can be broken down into their constituent elements and compounds, water remains a stable molecule regardless of the chemical reactions it undergoes.
Is Sucrose an elements?
no it is a sugar , and therefore a compound
Is sucrose on the periodic table?
Periodic table is an array or elements not compounds. Sucrose is a compound and not an element and hence it is not there or the periodic table.
Is sucrose a compound or a element?
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.
What elements are found in the compound sucrose?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What are the elements that make up sugar?
Sugar (sucrose) = C6H12O6, so the 3 elements are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Is sugar a mixture or elements?
Table sugar, which most likely is sucrose, is a compound.
Elements 2 and 3 are major building blocks in glucose fructose and sucrose. What are these elements?
Carbon and hydrogen
Does carbon and sucrose share the same properties?
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).
What elements are combined to make sugar?
Sugar is composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. These elements combine in various ratios to form different types of sugars, such as sucrose, glucose, and fructose.
What elements is sugar made of in what group. number do the elements belong?
Sugar, specifically sucrose, is composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). These elements belong to different groups in the periodic table: carbon is in group 14, hydrogen is in group 1, and oxygen is in group 16. Together, they form the molecular formula C12H22O11 for sucrose.
Why is that enzymes that digests starch will not act upon the sugar sucrose?
Starch is composed of many molecules of saccharides linked together. The enzymes that separate those basic elements from each other (alpha-amylase and beta-amylase) cannot alter them anymore. These enzymes work only on the bonds between the glucose, fructose and sucrose elements of a chain, not on the elements themselves.
How many element sucrose have?
Sucrose is made of 3 elements: Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen.
