Carbohydrates are substances that are found in foods such as bread and pasta, which provide the body with heat and energy. Chemically, carbohydrates are made of three kinds of elements namely carbon , hydrogen and oxygen.

Carbohydrates are separated into two main categories, simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.  

Simple carbohydrates are those that contain one or two sugar molecules linked together. Complex carbohydrates are those that contain  three or more sugar molecules linked together. In some cases these chains can contain hundreds of sugar molecules.

What is the molar mass of an element?
Vesnalui [34]

The answer is: the mass of 6.02 x 1023 representative particles of the element.

The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol, but chemist more use g/mol (gram per mole).

For example, molar mas of ammonia is 17.031 g/mol.

M(NH₃) = Ar(N) + 3 · Ar(H) · g/mol.

M(NH₃) = 14.007 + 3 · 1.008 · g/mol.

M(NH₃) = 17.031 g/mol.

The molar mass (M) is the mass of a given substance (in this example ammonia) divided by the amount of substance.
