Question

A certain crunch cereal contains 11.0 grams of sugar(sucrose, C12H22O11) per serving size of 60.0 gram. How many

Answer 1

Answer:

51.859 grams

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of sugar in the crunch cereal per serving= 11.0 grams

Mass of cereal served per serving = 60.0 grams

Molar mass of the sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) = ( 12 × 12 + 22 × 1 + 16 × 11 ) = 342 grams

Number of moles of sugar per serving = Mass / Molar mass

= 11.0 / 342

= 0.03216 moles

Now,

0.03216 moles sugar requires 60 grams cereal

for 0.0278 moles of sugar, cereal required = (60 / 0.03216) × 0.0278

or

for 0.0278 moles of sugar, cereal required = 51.859 grams
