Carbohydrates are biological molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of roughly one carbon atom (
C

Ostart text, H, end text, start subscript, 2, end subscript, start text, O, end text). This composition gives carbohydrates their name: they are made up of carbon (carbo-) plus water (-hydrate). Carbohydrate chains come in different lengths, and biologically important carbohydrates belong to three categories: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
A hydrated substance will decrease in mass when heated since the water is being boiled away.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
A chemical substance has the characteristics that it cannot be separated by physical methods. Seawater and milk can be separated by sedimentation, and air has different components depending on other aspects (such as elevation). Only ammonia is a substance. (thus it can have a formula: NH<span>3)</span>
