What is the correct interpretation of the mole ratios for the elements in

the following compound? *

C6H1206

1 mole Cions: 3 moles Hions : 1 mole O ions

1 mole C atoms: 3 moles H atoms: 1 mole O atoms

6 moles Cions: 12 moles Hions : 6 moles O ions

6 moles C atoms: 12 moles H atoms: 6 moles O atoms

6 moles of C atoms, 12 moles of H atoms and 6 moles of O atoms

Explanation:

A chemical formula represents the number of moles of atoms presents in 1 mole of the compound.

For example, for 1 mole:

CₐHₓ, you have a moles of carbon and x moles of hydrogen.

Thus, for the molecule:

C₆H₁₂O₆, you have 6 moles of C atoms, 12 moles of H atoms and 6 moles of O atoms
