Answer:

  • There are 0.106 mol of glucose.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data:

a) Chemical formula: C₆H₁₂O₆

b) Molecular weight, MM = 180.16 g/mol

c) mass, m = 19.1 g

c) n = ?

2) Formula:

  • n = massi grams / MM

3) Soltuion:

Substitute the data:

  • n = 19.1 g / 180.16 g/mol = 0.106 mol

The significant figures start with the first non-zero digit after the decimal point, so they are 1, 0, and 6, i.e. three significant figures.
