Answer:
a) 0.56moles
b) 2.78moles
Explanation:
The number of moles can be calculated by using the formula;
Mole (n) = Mass (M) ÷ Molar mass (MM)
For a glucose molecule, with chemical formula: C6H12O6
Where atomic mass of C= 12, H=1, O= 16
Molar mass of C6H12O6= 12(6) + 1(12) + 16(6)
= 72 + 12 + 96
= 180g/mol
a) In 100g of glucose;
Mole = 100/180
Mole = 0.56moles
b) In 500g of glucose
Mole = 500/180
Mole = 2.78moles
