How many molecules of allicin are in 2.60 mg of this substance?

Answer 1

The molecular formula of allicin is C6H10OS2. The molar mass is 162.27 g mol−1. Use this fact along with the percentage of allicin in the substance to calculate the molecules of allicin.

Answer 2

To calculate the number of molecules of allicin in 2.60 mg, you first need to convert the mass to moles using the molar mass of allicin. Then, use Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol) to convert moles to molecules.

Answer 3

2 mg C6H10OS2 (1 g/1000 mg)(1 mole C6H10OS2/162.28 g)(2 moles S/1 mole C6H10OS2)(6.022 X 1023/1 mole S)

= 1.48 X 1019 atoms of sulfur
