The correct answer is 0.06857 moles.
C₆H₁₂O₆, that is, glucose has six carbons, twelve hydrogens, and six oxygen atoms. The atomic weight of C, H and O are as follows:
Six atoms of carbon = 6 × 12.01 g = 72.06 g
Twelve atoms of hydrogen = 12 × 1.008 g = 12.096 g
Six atoms of oxygen = 6 × 16.00 g = 96.00 g
So, the molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ is 72.06 g + 12.096 g + 96.0 g = 180.156 g.
It can also be written in the form as 180.16 g of C₆H₁₂O₆ is equal to 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆or 180.16 g/mole (as the molar mass)
Now, there is a need to find moles of 12.354 grams of C₆H₁₂O₆. So, the final conversion is:
12.354 g C₆H₁₂O₆ × 1 mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ / 180.16 g C₆H₁₂O₆
= 0.06857 moles
The time taken for the isotope to decay is 46 million years.
We'll begin by calculating the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:
- Original amount (N₀) = 50.25 g
- Amount remaining (N) = 16.75
- Number of half-lives (n) =?
2ⁿ = N₀ / N
2ⁿ = N₀ / N
2ⁿ = 50.25 / 16.75
2ⁿ = 3
Take the log of both side
Log 2ⁿ = 3
nLog 2 = Log 3
Divide both side by log 2
n = Log 3 / Log 2
n = 2
Finally, we shall determine the time.
- Half-life (t½) = 23 million years
- Number of half-lives (n) = 2
t = n × t½
t = 2 × 23
t = 46 million years

Answer:
I'd say "a" because not everything with plants and animals is perfectly organized together nothing ever is.
