Question

john placed 10 moles of sulphur molecules S8and 5moles of glucouse(C6H1206) in the two different pans of a physical balance. Find which pan of the balance would be heavier. Support yours answer with calculations.

Answer 1

Atomic mass of sulphur is 32..... Molecular mass is 32 * 8 = 256.... Thus molecular mass of S8 is 256 g......... Molecular mass of glucose (C6H12O6) =(6 × 12) +( 1 × 12) +( 6 × 16) = 72 + 12 + 96=180..... Thus molecular mass of glucose is 180 g Now, we will find the weight of 10 mole of sulphur......thus 10 * 256 = 2560........ And now we will find the weight of 5 moles of glucose that will be......5 * 180 = 900 Therefore we can clearly see that the weight of 10 moles of sulphur is more...thus the pan of 10 moles of sulphur will be heavy.....
