I believe that the choices for this question are:
C2H4O2, C4H8O4 CH2O, C6H12O6 C3H6O3, C6H12O6 C2H4O2, C6H12O6
The answer to this based on the molar masses given is:
C2H4O2, C6H12O6
To prove calculate the molar mass:
C2H4O2 = 2*12 + 4*1 + 2*16 = 60
C6H12O6 = 6*12 + 12*1 + 6*16 = 180
The information that the coefficients of a balanced equation give about the reactants are to tell how many moles of reactants are needed and how many moles of product can be produced.
Carbon molar mass=12
carbon mass in the above question =6
mole=number of atoms/6.02x10²³
6/12= number of atoms/6.02x10²³
number of atoms=1/2 x6.02x10²³
number of atoms= 6.02 x10²³/2
number of atoms=3.01x10²³
