Answer:
0.185moles
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Volume of O₂ = 49.8L
Unknown:
Number of moles of sucrose required = ?
Solution:
We can assume that the reaction takes place at standard temperature and pressure.
From this, we can find the number of moles of oxygen that reacted and extrapolate to that of sucrose.
Chemical equation;
C₁₂H₂₂0₁₁ + 120₂ → 12CO₂ + 11H₂0
Number moles = at STP
Number of moles of oxygen gas = = 2.22moles
12 moles of oxygen gas combines with 1 mole of sucrose
2.22 moles of oxygen gas will combine with = 0.185moles
