Answer: [tex]8.38\times 10^{23}atoms[/tex] of carbon
Explanation:
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] of particles.
mass of sugar= [tex]density\times volume=1.59g/ml\times 25ml=39.75g[/tex]
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{39.75g}{342.3g/mol}=0.116moles[/tex]
1 mole of sugar [tex]C_{12}H_{22}O_{11})[/tex] contains = [tex]12\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=72.28\times 10^{23}atoms[/tex] of carbon
0.116 mole of sugar [tex]C_{12}H_{22}O_{11})[/tex] contains = [tex]\frac{72.28\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 0.116=8.38\times 10^{23}atoms[/tex] of carbon
