Answer:

Number of moles of C produced = 58.08 mol

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sugar = 1745 g

Moles of C produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6H₂SO₄ → 6C + 6(H₂SO₄.H₂O)

Number of moles of sugar:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 1745 g/180.16 g/mol

Number of moles = 9.68 mol

Now we will compare the moles of C and sugar.

C₆H₁₂O₆ : C

1 : 6

9.68 : 6×9.68 = 58.08 mol

Number of moles of C produced = 58.08 mol
