One mole of sucrose contains how many grams of sucrose?(a) 342g(b) 343g(c) 341g(d) 340gThis question was posed to me in an interview for job.I'm obligated to ask this question of Mole Concept and Molar Masses in chapter Chemistry Basic Concepts of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Correct option is (a) 342g

Easy explanation: One mole of SUCROSE is C12H22O11 The INDIVIDUAL mass of CARBON is 12 amu, the individual mass of hydrogen is 1 amu & the individual mass of OXYGEN is 16 amu. But sucrose has 12 CARBONS, 22 hydrogens and 11 oxygens, that is 12 x 12 + 22 x 1 + 11 x 16 = 342g.
