Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, let us calculate the molar mass of the glucose. To find the molar mass we need to add the masses of individual elements which constitute one glucose molecule.
Now, we know that
Molar mass of Carbon C=12gmol−1
Molar mass of Hydrogen H=1gmol−1
Molar mass of oxygen O=16gmol−1
Therefore, Molar Mass of glucose (C6H12O6) can be calculated as shown below
⇒ 6×12+12×1+6×16
⇒72+12+96⇒180gmol−1
Given mass of glucose = 300g
Now, we can calculate the number of moles in given mass of glucose, using the below formula,
Using the Formula numberofmoles=givenmassmolarmass we get
numberofmoles=300180 = 1.7 moles or 2 moles (approx.)
Hence the number of moles present in 300 g of glucose is 1.7 moles or 2 moles approximately.
