Question

There are __________ mol of carbon atoms in 3 mol of dimethylsulfoxide (c2h6so).

Answer 1

Answer: There are 6 moles of carbon atom present in 3 moles of dimethylsulfoxide

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

A chemical compound named dimethylsulfoxide having chemical formula of
`C_2H_6SO`

In 1 mole of dimethylsulfoxide, 2 moles of carbon atom, 6 moles of hydrogen atom, 1 mole of sulfur atom and 1 mole of oxygen atom is present.

We need to calculate the number of moles of carbon present in 3 moles of dimethylsulfoxide

So, in 3 moles of dimethylsulfoxide,
`(2* 3)=6` moles of carbon atom,
`(6* 3)=18` moles of hydrogen atom,
`(1* 3)=3` moles of sulfur atom and
`(1* 3)=3` moles of oxygen atom are present.

Hence, there are 6 moles of carbon atom present in 3 moles of dimethylsulfoxide
