3.42 of sucrose is dissolved in 18 g of water in a beaker. The number of oxygen atoms in the solution are:
Molar mass of sucrose = C12H22O11
= 12× 12 + 1× 22 + 16 × 11 = 342g/mol
⇒
⇒ Number of moles = 0.01
Sucrose (C12H22O11) contains 11 oxygen atoms
⇒ 11 × 6.022 × 1023
For 0.01 moles of sucrose
⇒ 0.01 × 11 × 6.022 × 1023= 6.6 × 1022
Now, Molar mass of water = H2O = 2× 1 + 16 = 18g/mol
⇒
⇒ Number of moles = 1
Sucrose (H2O) contains 1 oxygen atom = 6.022 × 1023
For 1 mole of water = 6.022 × 1023
Now, add the both values: 6.6 × 1022+ 6.022 × 1023
We get 6.68 × 1023 atoms. Hence, the option (a) is correct.
