Question

Select the simplest mole ratio for each substance. Glucose (C6H12O6): Sulfuric acid (H2SO4): Butene (C4H8):

Answer 1

Answer:

1. In Glucose: C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

2. In Sulfuric acid: H : S : O = 2 : 1 : 4

3. In Butene: C : H = 1 : 2

Explanation:

Mole ratio is defined as the ratio of amounts in moles present in a compound. Simplest mole ratio basically means that the moles are present in the least whole number ratio.

• In Glucose, $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$

Moles of Carbon atom = 6

Moles of Hydrogen atom = 12

Moles of Oxygen atom = 6

Mole ratio of the atoms: C : H : O :: 6 : 12 : 6

Making this, the simplest mole ratio C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

• In Sulfuric acid, $(H_2SO_4)$

Moles of Sulfur atom = 1

Moles of Hydrogen atom = 2

Moles of Oxygen atom = 4

Mole ratio of the atoms: H : S : O = 2 : 1 : 4

• In Butene, $(C_4H_8)$

Moles of Carbon atom = 4

Moles of Hydrogen atom = 8

Mole ratio of the atoms: C : H = 1 : 2
