Answer:
1.21 moles
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you want table sugar, the compound we will use is
C12H22O11
To go from grams of a substance to moles of a substance we need to find the molar mass of that substance
Mass of C = 12 atoms × 12 grams (molar mass of Carbon)
Mass of H = 22 atoms × 1 grams (molar mass of Hydrogen)
Mass of O = 11 atoms × 16 grams (molar mass of Oxygen)
C = 144 grams
H = 22 grams
O = 176 grams
total mass of substance = 342 grams
we only have 414 grams of sugar but it takes only 342 grams to make one mole.
To find out how many moles can be made, you take what you were given, in this case, 414 grams, and divide by the molar mass.
414 ÷ 342 ≈ 1.21 moles
