  • White Sugar Composition: Understanding Sucrose and Other Sugars
    White sugar doesn't have a specific chemical formula because it's not a single compound. It's a mixture of two sugars:

    * Sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁): This is the primary component of white sugar, making up about 99.5%.

    * Other sugars: White sugar also contains small amounts of other sugars like glucose and fructose.

    So, while sucrose is the main component, you could say the formula for white sugar is primarily C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ with small amounts of other sugars present.
