Step-by-step explanation:

This information is contained in the subscripts after each element. A molecule of sucrose (C12H22O11) has 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms. The subscripts also indicate the ratios of the elements. A dozen CO2 molecules have one dozen carbon atoms and two dozen oxygen atoms.
