A disaccharide's chemical formula depends on the disaccharide. DIsaccharides are merely molecules that have two sugar molecules covalently linked. They can be formed from nearly any permutation of sugar molecules.

C6H12O6 is the formula for monosaccharide.

C12H22O11 is the formula for disaccharide.

C12H22O11. Since disaccharides are two hexose sugars bonded together, the formula of a disaccharide is double that of a hexose sugar (C6H12O6) less one H2O molecule (from dehydration synthesis).
