plz help me to solve this question
Answers
• Molecular mass
C(12*12 )+ H(1*22) + O(16*11) = 342g molecular mass
• Number of atoms in 1 molecule of sucrose
12+22+11 = 45 number of atoms
• Number of gram molecules in 34.2g of sucrose
1 mole contain of 6.02x1023 molecules
For 34.2g :
6.02x10^23* 34.2/342 = 6.02x10^22 molecules
The formula of sucrose is C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁
i) The molecular mass of sucrose = 12x12 + 22x1 + 11x16
= 342 grams.
ii) since one molecule contains 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen and 11 atoms of oxygen,
hence total number of atoms in one molecule of sucrose,
= 12 + 22 + 11
= 45 atoms
iii) since the molecular weight of sucrose is 342 grams
=> 342 grams contains = 6.022 x 10²³ molecules
=> 34.2 grams contains = 6.022 x 10²³/10
= 6.022 x 10²² molecules.
Hence 34.2 g of sucrose contains 6.022 x 10²² molecules.
