Q. A person adds 1.71 gram of sugar $(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11})$ in order to sweeten his tea. The number of carbon atoms added are (mol. mass of sugar = 342)

Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Solution:

Moles of sugar added $=\frac{1.71}{342}=5\times10^{-3}$
Carbon atoms added
$=12\times5\times10^{-3}\times6.02\times10^{23}$
$=3.61\times10^{22}$
