Question

How many moles of sucrose are in 5.25x1029 sucrose molecules? (in scientific notation)

Answer 1

Answer:

8.72 × 10^5 moles

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in 5.25 x 10^29 molecules of sucrose, we divide the number of molecules by Avagadro constant (6.02 × 10²³ molecules). That is;

no. of moles = no. of molecules ÷ 6.02 × 10²³ molecules

In this case of sucrose, no of moles contained is as follows;

5.25 × 10^29 ÷ 6.02 × 10²³

5.25/6.02 × 10^ (29-23)

0.872 × 10^6

= 8.72 × 10^5 moles
