Question #42152

Answer 1

`0.33` `"mol C"_6"H"_12"O"_6`

Explanation:

We're asked to find the number of moles in `60` `"g"` glucose, `"C"_6"H"_12"O"_6`.

To do this, we can use the molar mass of glucose, calculated to be

`6(12.01color(white)(l)"g/mol") + 12(1.01color(white)(l)"g/mol") + 6(16.00color(white)(l)"g/mol")`

`= color(red)(180.18` `color(red)("g/mol"`

Using dimensional analysis, we can now convert from grams to moles:

`60cancel("g glucose")((1color(white)(l)"mol glucose")/(180.18cancel("g glucose"))) = color(blue)(0.33` `color(blue)("mol C"_6"H"_12"O"_6`
