Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) has the chemical formula C6H8O6. In a 100-g sample, you can calculate the number of moles of each element by first determining the molar mass of ascorbic acid, which is approximately 176.12 g/mol. Using this, you can find that there are about 0.568 moles of ascorbic acid in the sample. Consequently, this corresponds to 3.41 moles of carbon (C), 4.54 moles of hydrogen (H), and 0.68 moles of oxygen (O) based on the stoichiometric ratios in the formula.
