Question

How many mol of carbon in 2.0 mol of caffeine?

Answer 1

Answer : The number of moles of carbon in 2.0 mole of caffeine are, 16 moles

Solution :

The formula of caffeine is,
`C_8H_(10)N_4O_2`

As we know that, 1 mole of caffeine contains 8 moles of carbon atom, 10 moles of hydrogen atoms, 4 moles of nitrogen atoms and 2 moles of oxygen atoms.

According to the question,

As, 1 mole of caffeine contains 8 moles of carbon atoms

So, 2 moles of caffeine contains
`8* 2=16` moles of carbon atoms

Therefore, the number of moles of carbon in 2.0 mole of caffeine are, 16 moles
