Calculate the amount of sugar (C12 H22 O11) in the morning tea if a teaspoon contains 5g of sugar?
Given parameters
Mass of sugar = 5g
Unknown:
Amount of the sugar =?
Solution:
A mole is the amount of substance that contains avogadro's number of particles i.e 6.02 x 10²³
Therefore, to find the number of moles contained in the teaspoon of sugar we use the expression below:
Number of moles =
Molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ = (12x12) + (1x22) + (16x11) = 342g/mol
Number of moles = = 0.015mol of sugar
or 0.015 x 6.02 x 10²³, 8.8x10²¹atoms of sugar
