Answer:
14.64 grams of carbon
Step-by-step explanation:
The Molecular formula of Glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆.
From the molecular formula, the Molar mass of Glucose is,
Mass of Carbon in Glucose = 6*12 = 72.
Mass of Hydrogen in Glucose = 12*1 = 12.
Mass of Oxygen in Glucose = 6*16 = 96.
Molar mass of Glucose = 72+12+96 = 180 grams.
180 grams of Glucose contains 72 grams of Carbon.
How many grams of Carbon are there in 36.6 grams of Glucose.
180 --> 72
36.6 --> ?
Let it be 'x' grams
Then, by Criss Cross, (x)(180) = (36.6)(72) => x = 14.64 grams.
Therefore 14.64 grams of carbon are there in 36.6 grams in glucose.
