Answer:
Number of C-atoms = 3.01 *10^22
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: </u>Data given
Mass of glucose = 1.50 grams
Molar mass of Glucose = 180.156 g/mol
Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol
<u>Step 2: </u>Calculate number of moles glucose
Number of moles glucose = mass glucose / molar mass glucose
Moles glucose = 1.50 grams / 180.156 g/mol
Moles glucose = 0.00833 moles
<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate formula units of glucose
0.00833 moles glucose * 6.02 *10^23 = 5.01 *10^21
<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate number of carbon atoms
Glucose has 6 C'atoms in it's molecular formule
Number of C-atoms = 5.01 *10^21 * 6 = 3.01 *10^22
