Answer to Question #267193 in General Chemistry for Cronium

Question

How many mol of glucose can be produced from 98 mol of sucrose?

Answer 1

Solution:

Balanced chemical equation:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁(sucrose) + H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆(glucose) + C₆H₁₂O₆(fructose)

According to stoichiometry:

1 mol of sucrose produces 1 mol of glucose

Thus, 98 mol of sucrose produces:

(98 mol sucrose) × (1 mol glucose / 1 mol sucrose) = 98 mol glucose

Answer: 98 mol of glucose can be produced.
