What mass of carbon is present in 1.4*x10^20 molecules of sucrose?

1 answer:

4 0

No of moles of Carbon, C = mass/ molar mass.
Molar mass of carbon = 12.0107. We only have to calculate the no of moles
of carbon to obtain carbon's mass. .
From Sucrose chemical formula C12H22O11 we know that there are 12
carbon atoms.
So there are 1.4x10^(20) x12 = 16.8 x 10^20 carbon atoms.
We will use avogardo's number to find out the number of carbon molecules
in the compound.
From Avogadro's no. One mole of any substance equals to 6.022140857
atoms.

So X mole contains 16.8 * 10^(20) carbon atom
(16.8x10^20 carbon atoms)/6.022 x10^23 particles/mol = 0.00279 mols
The molar mass of carbon is 12.0107g/mol so we'll multiply to get the mass:
0.00279 mols x 12 = 0.03348.

Na⁺,SO₄²⁻ is the answer

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a net electrical charge. There are many ions, one of them are sodium ion and sulfate ion.

SO₄²⁻ or Sulfate is a naturally occurring polyatomic ion that consist of a central sulfur atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms with occured widely in everyday life. Sodium ions are important for regulation of blood and body fluids, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity, and certain metabolic functions.

Whereas Na⁺ or Sodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal. Sulfate ion is a very weak base. Therefore sulfate ion undergoes negligible hydrolysis in aqueous solution.

Enter the symbol of a sodium ion, Na⁺, followed by the formula of a sulfate ion, SO₄²⁻. Separate the ions with a comma only—spaces are not allowed. Express your answers as ions separated by a comma. Therefore the answer is: Na⁺,SO₄²⁻
