Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Among the following compounds, the compound which contains more carbon atoms per mole should be determined with an explanation.
Concept introduction:
The number of moles of a compound is defined as the ratio of the given mass of the compound to the molar or molecular mass of the compound.
The mathematical expression is given by:
Number of moles =
The one mole of any substance is equal to the
Answer to Problem 127A
Vanillin contains more number of moles of carbon atom in comparison to glycerin and ascorbic acid.
Explanation of Solution
Given compounds are:
For
Number of carbon atoms = 6
Thus, for every mole of ascorbic acid, the number of moles of carbon atoms = 6 moles.
For
Number of carbon atoms = 3
Thus, for every mole of glycerin, the number of moles of carbon atoms = 3 moles.
For
Number of carbon atoms = 8
Thus, for every mole of vanillin, the number of moles of carbon atoms = 8 moles.
Hence, vanillin contains more number of moles of carbon atom in comparison to glycerin and ascorbic acid.
