Answer

Number of C atoms=Number of O atoms $=3.01\times10^{22}$ atoms Number of H atoms$=6.02\times10^{22}$ atoms

Work Step by Step

Number of moles of $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$=$\frac{\text{mass in grams}}{\text{molar mass of glucose}}$ $=\frac{1.50\,g}{180.156\,g/mol}=0.008326\,mol$ Number of glucose molecules= $0.008326\times6.022\times10^{23}=5.0139\times10^{21}$ molecules. Now, in each glucose molecule, there are 6 C, 12 H and 6 O atoms. Therefore, Number of C atoms=Number of O atoms= $6\times5.0139\times10^{21}=3.01\times10^{22}$ atoms Number of H atoms= $12\times5.0139\times10^{21}=6.02\times10^{22}$ atoms
