Answer:
10 moles
Explanation:
C6H12O6 is glucose and we shall get its molar mass by summing up molar masses of its elemental components.
C=12 , H=1 , O =16
C6H12O16 = (12*6) + (1*12) + (16*6)
= 180g/mol
number of moles = mass/molar mass
mass of C6H12O6 =300 g
number of moles of C6H12O6 = 300/180
= 100/60
mass of Carbon present = [tex]\frac{100}{60}*12[/tex]
=20g
for 6 carbon atoms we have = 20*6
= 120g
number of moles = mass/molar mass
number of moles , C = 120/12
number of moles of Carbon atoms = 10moles
