Question

The compound responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic is allicin, c6h10os2. the mass of 1.00 mol of allicin, rounded to the nearest integer, is __________ g

Answer 1

The compound responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic is allicin, that is having molecular formula C₆H₁₀OS₂.

Molar mass of C₆H₁₀OS₂=162.26 g mol⁻¹.

number of moles of C₆H₁₀OS₂=1 mol

So mass of C₆H₁₀OS₂ can be calculated as:

`Number of moles of C_(6)H_(10)OS_(2), n= (Given mass of the )/(Molar mass of theC_(6)H_(10)OS_(2))`

`1= (Given mass of the C_(6)H_(10)OS_(2))/(162.26)`

Given mass of the C₆H₁₀OS₂= 162 g
