Answer:


\huge{ \boxed{0.779 \: \text{moles}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula;


\bold{n = (N)/(L) \\ }

where

  • n is the number of moles
  • N is the number of entities
  • L is the Avogadro's constant which is 6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question

N = 4.69 × 10²³ glucose molecules


n = \frac{4.69 * {10}^(23) }{6.02 * {10}^(23) } = (4.69)/(6.02) \\ = 0.77907

We have the final answer as

0.779 moles
