Capitolo 1, Problema 51
Glucose, a form of sugar, has the formula C6H12O6. Which elements are included in this compound, and how many atoms of each are present?
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the chemical formula of glucose, which is C₆H₁₂O₆. This formula provides information about the elements and the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of glucose.
Break down the formula into its constituent elements: C (carbon), H (hydrogen), and O (oxygen).
Determine the subscript numbers associated with each element in the formula. For carbon (C), the subscript is 6; for hydrogen (H), the subscript is 12; and for oxygen (O), the subscript is 6.
Interpret the subscripts: The subscript indicates the number of atoms of that element in one molecule of glucose. Therefore, there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms in one molecule of glucose.
Summarize the findings: Glucose contains three elements—carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O)—with 6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen in each molecule.
