Question

A soft drink contains 46 g of sugar(sucrose C12H22O11) how many sugar molecules are present?

Answer 1

8.092752363 ×10 to the power of 22

Answer 2

Number of molecules: 8.089×1022 molecules

Step-by-step explanation

The formula for this question is

Number of molecules

= Number of moles × 6.02x1023

Since,

the number of moles = given mass/formula mass

Here,

Formula mass of sucrose= 342.3 g/mol

Given mass= 46g

Therefore,

The number of molecules = given mass×6.02×1023/

Formula mass

=46×6.02×1023/342.3

=8.089×1022 molecules.
