Question

Describe the relationship between the number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in carbohydrates.

Answer 1

Answer:)The ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrate molecules is 1:2:1. The component carbon (C, carbo-) and the component water (H20, -hydrate) give the name to this group of organic molecules. ... Monosaccharides and disaccharides are also called simple carbohydrates, and are generally referred to as sugars.

Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

Carbohydrates empirical formula is Cm(H2O)n (where m may or may not be different from n). So hydrogen:oxygen ratio is 2:1 and there is not a specific ratio between carbon and two other atoms but is some situations (if m=n) you can tell carbon:oxygen ratio is 1:1 and carbon:hydrogen ratio is 1:2.
