Yes, that would be wrong.

Explanation:

As you mentioned, Sucrose has a molecular/chemical formula of "C"_(12)"H"_(22)"O".

However, you cannot write "C"_(12)+11 " H"_2"O", because this looks like it is the reactants of a reaction. It may look, to a chemist, like you are trying to come up with the products of the reaction of "C"_(12) and 11 " H"_2"O".

I hope that helps!
