High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a sweetener that was designed in the 1970s, which takes corn starch and chemically modifies it to have a mixture of the constitutional isomers glucose and fructose (both of the formula C6H12O6). HFCS 55 is the type found in US sodas (like Coca Cola) and it contains 55.1% fructose molecules and 44.9% glucose molecules. Given that information, calculate how many molecules of fructose would be found in a can of coca cola if the amount of HFCS used were 67.5 g? Use the correct number of significant figures. *Input answer as: 6.022x10^23
