Answer 2

The moles of carbon present in 60g of glucose is 2.

Given:

60g of glucose.

To Find:

The moles of carbon are present in 60g of glucose.

Solution:

To find the moles of carbon present in 60g of glucose we will follow the following steps:

As we know,

The glucose formula is C6H12O6 and the molecular weight of glucose is 12×6 + 12×1 +16×6= 180gram.

180-gram glucose contains 6 moles of carbon. so,

1 gram of glucose will have several carbons =

$\frac{6}{180} moles$

Number of moles of carbons in 60 grams of glucose =

$\frac{6}{180} \times 60 = 2$

Henceforth, the moles of carbon present in 60g of glucose is 2.
