Answer to Question #133414 in General Chemistry for Mike

Question

How much moles of carbon contain in 0,15 mol sucrose?

Answer 1

Chemical formula of sucrose is;

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

That means for 1 mole of glucose, there are 12 moles of carbon.

Thus, for 0.15 moles of carbon we will have:

$=\dfrac{0.15molesx12moles}{1 mole} = 1.8 moles$ of carbon
