To determine the number of hydrogen atoms in a sugar compound with 22 oxygen atoms, we can refer to a general formula for carbohydrates, which typically follows the structure \( C_n(H_{2n}O_n) \) for sugars and polysaccharides. This means that for every \( n \) carbon atoms, there are \( 2n \) hydrogen atoms and \( n \) oxygen atoms.
Given that there are 22 oxygen atoms, we can set \( n = 22 \). According to the formula:
- The number of hydrogen atoms would be \( 2n = 2 \times 22 = 44 \).
Thus, if a sugar compound has 22 oxygen atoms, it typically contains 44 hydrogen atoms, assuming that it follows the common structure of carbohydrates. However, individual sugar compounds can vary, so specific sugars may differ in their exact numbers of hydrogen and carbon atoms.
