Answer 2

Given:

The mass of glucose = 60 grams

To Find:

The number of moles of carbon in the glucose.

Solution:

The chemical formula of glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆.

The molecular mass of glucose = {( 12×6) + (12×1) + (6×16)} = 180 g/mol

The number of moles of glucose in the given amount = $\frac{Mass given}{Molecular weight}$

⇒ The number of moles of glucose = 60/180 = 1/3 mol = 0.33 mole

In 1 mole of glucose, there are 6 moles of carbon.

Similarly,

In 0.33 mole of glucose, number of moles of carbon = 6× 0.33 =  2moles

Hence, there are 2 moles of carbon in 60 grams of glucose.
