The name carbohydrate comes from the fact that many simple sugars have chemical formulae that look like water has simply been
added to carbon. (The suffix hydrate from the Greek word hydor ("water") means "compound formed by the addition of water.")
The actual chemical structure of carbohydrates doesn't look anything like water molecules bonded to carbon atoms (see sketch at
right). But it is nevertheless possible to chemically extract all the hydrogen and oxygen from many simple carbohydrates as water,
leaving only carbon behind. If you search the Internet for "reaction of sulfuric acid and sugar" you will find some impressive videos of
this.
Suppose you had (200. g) of ordinary table sugar, which chemists call sucrose, and which has the chemical formula C12H₂2011.
Calculate the maximum mass of water you could theoretically extract. Be sure your answer has alunit symbol, and round it to 3
significant digits.
