a) 0.003512 moles

b) Moles C= 0.04214 moles carbon

Moles H = 0.07726 moles hydrogen

Moles O = 0.03863 moles of oxygen

c) C atoms = 2.54 *10^22 carbon atoms

H atoms = 4.65 *10^22 hydrogen atoms

O atoms = 2.33 *10^22 oxygen atom

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sucrose = 1.202 grams

Molar mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of sucrose

Moles sucrose = Mass sucrose / molar mass sucrose

Moles sucrose = 1.202 grams / 342.3 g/mol

Moles sucrose = 0.003512 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of each element

For 1 mol of C12H22O11 we have 12 moles of carbon, 22 moles of hydrogen and 11 moles of oxygen

Moles C: 12*0.003512 = 0.04214 moles carbon

Moles H: 22* 0.003512 = 0.07726 moles hydrogen

Moles O: 11* 0.003512 = 0.03863 moles of oxygen

Step 4: Calculate the number of atoms

C atoms = 6.022 *10^23 / mol * 0.04214 moles = 2.54 *10^22 atoms carbon

H atoms = 6.022 * 10^23 / mol * 0.07726 moles = 4.65 *10^22 atoms H

O atoms = 6.022 * 10^23 / mol * 0.03863 moles = 2.33 *10^22 atoms O

0.003512 moles of sucrose containse 6.022 *10^23 * 0.003512 = 2.11 * 10^21 sucrose molecules

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
