Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{\text{0.603 mol}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We must do the conversions
mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of O₂
We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.
Mᵣ: 180.16
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ⟶ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O
m/g: 18.1
(a) Moles of C₆H₁₂O₆
[tex]\text{Moles of C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} = \text{18.1 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}{\text{180.16 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}\\\\= \text{0.1005 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}[/tex]
b) Moles of O₂
[tex]\text{Moles of O}_{2} =\text{0.1005 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} \times \dfrac{\text{6 mol O}_{2}}{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}} = \text{0.603 mol O}_{2}\\\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.603 mol}}$ of oxygen}[/tex]
