Taking into account the definition of Avogadro's number and molar mass, 3.49334×10²² molecules of sucrose are present.

<h3>Definition of molar mass</h3>

The molar mass of substance is a property defined as its mass per unit quantity of substance, in other words, molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

<h3>Avogadro's Number</h3>

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

<h3>Molecules of sugar in this case</h3>

In first place, the molar mass of sucrose is 342 g/mole. So, you can apply the following rule of three: If by definition of molar mass 342 grams of the compound are contained in 1 mole, 20 grams of the compound are contained in how many moles?

amount of moles=\frac{20 gramsx1 mole}{342 grams}

<u><em>amount of moles= 0.058 moles</em></u>

Now, considering the Avogadro's number, you can apply the following rule of three: If 1 mole of the compound contains 6.023×10²³ molecules, 0.058 moles contains how many molecules?

amount of moleculas= (6.023×10²³ molecules × 0.058 moles)÷ 1 mole

<u><em>amount of molecules= 3.49334×10²² molecules</em></u>

Finally, 3.49334×10²² molecules of sucrose are present.

What is the normal pH range of a Base?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

7.35 - 7.45

Explanation:

The pH scale ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic or alkaline). A pH of 7.0, in the middle of this scale, is neutral. Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal pH range of about 7.35 to 7.45. Usually, the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40.

Hope this helps

Nicotine is 74.1% carbon, 8.6% hydrogen, and 17.3% nitrogen by mass. What is its molecular formula if its molar mass is 162.26 g
WINSTONCH [101]

first we need to find the empirical formula of nicotine

empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of elements making up a compound

the percentage compositions for each element has been given. So we can calculate for 100 g of the compound.

masses of elements and the number of moles

C - 74.1 g - 74.1 g/12 g/mol = 6.17 mol

H - 8.6 g - 8.6 g / 1 g/mol = 8.6 mol

N - 17.3 g - 17.3 g / 14 g/mol = 1.23

divide all by the least number of moles

C - 6.17 / 1.23 = 5.01

H - 8.6 / 1.23 = 6.99

N - 1.23 / 1.23 = 1.00

when the atoms are rounded off to the nearest whole numbers

C - 5

H - 7

N - 1

empirical formula is C₅H₇N

we have to find what the mass of 1 empirical unit is

mass - 5 x 12 g/mol + 7 x 1 g/mol + 14 g/mol = 81 g

molecular mass is 162.26 g/mol

we have to find how many empirical units make up 1 molecule

number of empirical units = molecular mass / mass of 1 empirical unit

= 162.26 g/mol / 81 g = 2.00

there are 2 empirical units

molecular formula is - 2 (C₅H₇N)

molecular formula - C₁₀H₁₄N₂
