In three moles of ethane (C2H6), calcula | Class 11 Chemistry Chapter Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry, Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry NCERT Solutions

Question:

In three moles of ethane (C2H6), calculate the following:
(i) Number of moles of carbon atoms.
(ii) Number of moles of hydrogen atoms.
(iii) Number of molecules of ethane.

Answer:

Mole is a latin term which means a pile or mass of stones placed in sea. In Chemistry a mole represents Avogadro’s number(6.022 X 1023 particles)

(i) 1 mole of C2H6 contains 2 moles of carbon atoms(because 2 carbons are present in the formula of ethane)

 Number of moles of carbon atoms in 3 moles of C2H6

= 2 × 3 = 6

(ii) 1 mole of C2Hcontains 6 moles of hydrogen atoms(because 6 hydrogen atoms are present in ethane)

 Number of moles of carbon atoms in 3 moles of C2H6

= 3 × 6 = 18

(iii) 1 mole of C2Hcontains 6.023 × 1023 molecules of ethane(because 1mole = 6.022 x 1023)

 Number of molecules in 3 moles of C2H6

= 3 × 6.023 × 1023 = 18.069 × 1023
