Which of the following has the highest number of atoms

Correct answer: C. One mole of glucose (C6H12O6)

  • A. One mole of water (H2O)
  • B. One mole of methane (CH4)
  • C. One mole of glucose (C6H12O6)
  • D. One mole of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)

Explanation

This answer is correct because one mole of glucose has highest number of atoms. The formula of glucose is C6H12O6 hence one molecule have 24 atoms. In 1mol of glucose there will be 6.02x10^23 molecules of glucose hence there will be 24 x 6.02x10^23 atoms in one mole of glucose.

About Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry

Mole calculations connect mass, number of particles and Avogadro's number, while balanced equations provide the mole ratios used in stoichiometry. Questions cover limiting and excess reactants, theoretical yield and percentage yield, including identifying which reactant is consumed first and comparing the actual product with the maximum possible product.
