1. Consider a 1.245 g sample of glucose(C6H12O6).

Calculate the following:

a. moles of glucose in the sample

molar mass of glucose : 180,156 g/mol

moles = 1.245 g / 180.156 g/mol

moles = 0.00691

b. moles of carbon in 1 mole of glucose

in the glucose molecule there are 6 C atoms, so that in 1 mole of glucose there are 6 moles of C

c. mole and mass of carbon in the sample

mol C in the sample :

N = 4.16 x 10²¹ molecules

2. When the body consumes glucose, it requires oxygen gas. This process is also known as combustion. In
a laboratory, a 0.5484 g glucose sample underwent combustion, producing carbon dioxide gas and liquid
is

water.
Th

a. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction described above.
= C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
sh

b. How many moles of glucose are present before the reaction?

RMM for glucose = 12 x 6 + 1 x 12 (16 x 6) = 180
moles of glucose = 0.5484/180 = 0.003047moles

 c. What is the mole relationship between glucose and carbon dioxide? Between glucose and water?
mole ratio C6H12 : 6CO2 = 1.6
mole ratio C6H12 : 6H2O = 1.6

d. How many grams of CO2 is produced from the given amount of sample.
mole of CO2 = 0.003047 x 6 = 0.018282 moles
RMM of CO2 = 12 +16 x 2 = 48
mass of CO2 = 48 x 0.018282 = 0.8775 g
