    A) False:

    B) True

    C) False

    D) True

    A) The mass of a mol of glucose is 180g,

    mass of C in one mol of glucose=6 (12 g) = 72 g

    mass of H in one mol of glucose=12 (1 g) = 12 g

    mass of O in one mol of glucose=6 (16 g) = 96 g

    % mass of C = (72g/180 g) * 100=40%

    % mass of O = (96 g/180 g) * 100=53.33%

    Therefore the mass percent of carbon and owigen in glucose isn't the same.

    b) In 1 molecule of glucose there are 6 atoms of C.

    c)

    % mass of H = (12 g/180g) * 100=6.67%

    Therefore; the element with lower mass percent in glucose is hydrogen.

    d) yes, in 1 mol of glucose there are 6 moles of carbon, if the formule was C7H12O6, the numbers of moles would be 7.
