Saccharides are carbohydrates, molecules containing Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O). "Saccharo" means sugar in Greek. Also Greek, "mono" means one, "di" means two, and "poly" means many.
A sugar molecule is based upon a ring of carbons with H's and OH's attached. One sugar molecule alone is a monosacchararide, like glucose and fructose. Two sugar molecules bonded together covalently is a disaccharide, like lactose (milk sugar) and sucrose (table sugar). Many sugar molecules (upwards of hundreds or thousands) bonded together covalently is a polysaccharide. Examples are glycogen (animal starch) and cellulose (plant starch).

When zn(oh)2(s) was added to 1.00 l of a basic solution, 1.09×10−2 mol of the solid dissolved. what is the concentration of oh−
uysha [10]
The concentration of the basic solution is determined by:

N = (number of moles / volume of solution) 

number of moles = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol
volume of solution = 1 liter
N of basic solution = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol / 1 liter
N = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol/L

The initial concentration of Zn (OH)2 is 0; the basic solution is 1.09x10^-2 M, then the concentration of OH in the final solution is 1.09x10^-2 M

Len [333]
Fats (triglycerides) that contain palmitic acid and stearic acid are therefore known as saturated fats. Fats made up of saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature. ... Because it is polyunsaturated, it is liquid at room temperature.
