Asample of table sugar (sucrose, c12h22o11) has a mass of 1.202 g. a. calculate the number of moles of c12h22o11 contained in the sample

moles = 0.0035 moles

Explanation:

In order to use this, we need to use the expression to calculate the moles of any compound, which is:

n = m/MM (1)

Where:

n: moles

m: mass of the compound (in grams)

MM: Molecular mass of compound (grams per mole)

Now, we have the mass of the sucrose, but we do not have the molecular mass. To calculate it, we need to use the atomic weights of each indivual element of the compound. In this case, C, H and O.

The atomic weights that I'll use will be rounded, and they are:

C = 12 g/mol

H: 1 g/mol

O: 16 g/mol

Now, let's calculate the molar mass of sucrose

MMSucrose:

C = 12 * 12 = 144

H = 1 * 22 = 22

O = 16 * 11 = 176

MM = 144 + 22 + 176 = 342 g/mol

We have the molar mass, let's calculate the moles now, using (1):

n = 1.202 / 342

n = 0.0035 moles

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.

they are made of gases.

they have a spherical shape.

they make energy through fusion.
