Carbon atoms would weigh more because they have six protons and six neutrons. The most common form of Hydrogen has one proton and no neutrons, which means that Carbon is normally about 12 times as heavy as Hydrogen (in their most common forms).

They all have the same amount of molecules because its all one mole of molecules. Its like saying, which has more fruits: one dozen apples, one dozen Oranges, or one dozen bananas. Mole is used in the same context as dozen in stoichiometry.If you were talking about MASS now, then the answer would be C2H6.

1 mole of Hydrogen ways 1 gram. 1 mole of carbon ways 12 grams. The grams per mole ratio is the same as the Atomic Mass in amu.

A mole of hydrogen would contain as many atoms as a mole of lead. Mole has a definite quantitative meaning, rather like a dozen does. A mole is,

6.022 X 1023 atoms per elemental mass.

carbon atoms are heavier because of the position of the elements in the Periodic Table of elements.

They all contain the same number of molecules, 6.022 x 1023 molecules. One mole of molecules of any substance is 6.022 x 1023 molecules.

An atom of hydrogen and an atom of carbon are?

Hydrogen and carbon do not create a new compound by themselves. To create a new compound, they would need to bond with atoms of more elements.


How does the formula of an alkene change when you add an extra carbon atom?

The number of hydrogen atoms inceases by 2. The formula for an alkane is always C(n)H(2n+2), So the number of hydrogen atoms is always 2 more than the double of carbon atoms. *^^*


How many atoms are in C4H12O6?

There are 24 atoms because C6 stands for 6 carbon atoms, H12 stands for 12 hydrogen atoms, and O6 stands for 6 oxygen atoms. C6H12O6 means Glucose, a.k.a "sugar for cells". If you want more details, you can look at the periodic table in Chemistry.


Why is ethanol solubile in water but propane is not?

In general terms, because (1) the carbon-oxygen and hydrogen-oxygen bonds in ethanol are much more polar than any of the bonds in propane; (2) the oxygen atom in ethanol can form hydrogen bonds with the hydrogen atoms in water, but there is not such possibility with propane; and (3) propane contains more carbon atoms per molecule than ethanol.


How many atoms of hydrogen are in an ethanol molecule?

the question is not a specific one alcohol is group of dervities those organic compound which has OH as their functional group were said to be so generally there are methanol, the basic structure CH3OH where in it has 1 carbon atom 4 hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom in toto 6 atom next is ethanol which has one more carbon and 2 more hydrogen and so on please refer plus two book for clear solution

A molecule is said to be organic if it contains?

An organic molecule is a molecule and that contains carbon atoms that are connected to hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen atoms. Glucose has carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms so it is organic.


Why are alkanes more saturated?

This is because they have a large number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms

Is an atom organic?

Organic substances contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. Organic compounds are formed by bonding carbon and hydrogen atoms. There can be more elements too. An atom can never be organic.


Why is there so much more in a mole of sugar than carbon?

Sugar is composed of 22 atoms of hydrogen, 12 atoms of carbon as well as 11 atoms of oxygen


If you have 8 g of H and 8 g of carbon then you do not have the same amount of carbon and hydrogen - why?

Because you have the same mass but not the same amount. This is because a hydrogen atom weighs less than a carbon atom. It's like having a tonne of bricks and a tonne of feathers. Both the feathers and the bricks have the same mass, but obviously there will be many more feathers than bricks. The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1. Carbon has an atomic mass of 12. So with an equal mass you get 12 times as many hydrogen atoms as you would carbon atoms.
