Question

How many molecules are in there in 2.5 moles of glucose C6H12O6?

Answer 1

`1.5055*10^(24)\text{ molecules}`

Step-by-step explanation

We need a conversion factor that will converts from moles of glucose, C6H12O6 to molecules of glucose.

That is, one mole of any substance contains 6.022 x 10²³ molecule of that substance.

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ mole = 6.022}*10^(23) \\ 2.5\text{ moles }=(6.022*10^(23)*2.5)/(1)=1.5055*10^(24)\text{ molecules} \end{gathered}`

1.5055 x 10^24 molecules of glucose are in 2.5 moles of glucose C6H12O6
