  • Calculating Carbon Moles in Glucose: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the moles of carbon (C) in 1.22 moles of glucose (C6H12O6):

    1. Understand the Formula:

    * The formula C6H12O6 tells us that each molecule of glucose contains 6 carbon atoms.

    2. Use the Mole Ratio:

    * The mole ratio between glucose and carbon is 1:6. This means for every 1 mole of glucose, there are 6 moles of carbon.

    3. Calculate the Moles of Carbon:

    * Multiply the moles of glucose by the mole ratio:

    1.22 moles C6H12O6 * (6 moles C / 1 mole C6H12O6) = 7.32 moles C

    Therefore, there are 7.32 moles of carbon in 1.22 moles of glucose.
