A sample of glucose, C6H12O6, has a mass of 300.0g. How many moles of carbon atoms are in the sample?

10 moles

Explanation:

C6H12O6 is glucose and we shall get its molar mass by summing up molar masses of its elemental components.

C=12 , H=1 , O =16

C6H12O16 = (12*6) + (1*12) + (16*6)

               = 180g/mol

number of moles = mass/molar mass

mass of C6H12O6 =300 g

number of moles of C6H12O6 = 300/180

                                                  = 100/60

mass of Carbon present =

                                        =20g

for 6 carbon atoms we have = 20*6

                                           = 120g

number of moles = mass/molar mass

number of moles , C = 120/12

number of moles of Carbon atoms = 10moles

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
