Question

The compound responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic is allicin, c6h10os2. the mass of 1.00 mol of allicin, rounded to the nearest integer, is __________ g

Answer 1

The compound responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic is allicin, that is having molecular formula C₆H₁₀OS₂.

Molar mass of C₆H₁₀OS₂=162.26 g mol⁻¹.

number of moles of C₆H₁₀OS₂=1 mol

So mass of C₆H₁₀OS₂ can be calculated as:

$Number of moles of C_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}, n= \frac{Given mass of the }{Molar mass of theC_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}}$

$1= \frac{Given mass of the C_{6}H_{10}OS_{2}}{162.26}$

Given mass of the C₆H₁₀OS₂= 162 g
