How many moles of hydrogen atoms are there in 2.50 mol of C6H12O6?
a) 2.50
b) 30.0
c) 1.51 × 1024
d) 1.81 × 1025
The chemical formula C6H12O6 indicates that there are 6 moles of hydrogen atoms in 1 mole of C6H12O6. Thus, to find the number of moles of hydrogen atoms in 2.50 mol of C6H12O6, you can multiply 2.50 mol by the conversion factor:
2.50 mol C6H12O6 * 6 mol H2 / 1 mol C6H12O6
Multiplying these numbers yields:
2.50 mol * 6 mol H2 / 1 mol = 15 mol H2
Therefore, option b) is the correct answer: 30.0.
