What is the chemical formula for a carbohydrate?
The general chemical formula for a carbohydrate is (CH₂O)n, where:
* C represents carbon
* H represents hydrogen
* O represents oxygen
* n is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule, which varies depending on the specific carbohydrate.
For example:
* Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) has n = 6
* Fructose (C₆H₁₂O₆) has n = 6
* Sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) has n = 12
This general formula indicates that carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in a specific ratio.
