Answer:
The mass of sugar glucose is 6.499 g
Explanation:
Data given:
mass of CO₂ = 9.51 g
molar weight of CO₂ = 44.01 g/mol
[tex]n_{CO_{2} } =9.51/44.01=0.216mol[/tex]
The reaction is:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 9O₂ = 6CO₂ + 6H₂O
According the reaction:
1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ ------------- 6 moles of CO₂
X mol of C₆H₁₂O₆ ------------- 0.216 moles of CO₂
Clearing X:
[tex]Xmoles_{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} } =\frac{0.216}{6} =0.036moles[/tex]
molar weight of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 180.516 g/mol
The mass of glucose is:
[tex]mass_{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} } =0.036*180.516=6.499g[/tex]
