Consider a 5.00 kg bag of sugar, C12H22O11, and answer the following question. Be sure to show your work:
Calculate the mass of hydrogen, H, Contained in that sugar.
Given: Mass of sugar =5.00 Kg
To Calculate: Mass of H atom contained in the sugar
Molar mass of sugar =342.3 g/mol
Moles of sugar = mass of sugar/ molar mass of sugar
= 5000 / 342.3
= 14.61 mol
1 mol C12H22O11 contains 22 mol H
So, 14.61 mol C12H22O11 contains 22 x 14.61 mol H
= 321.42 mol H
Mass of H = Moles x Molar Mass of Hydrogen
=321.42 mol x 1.00784 g/mol
=323.939 g (1000g= 1kg)
=0.324 kg
