The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "1 mole of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ contains 22 hydrogen atoms" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Chemical Formula**: The chemical formula given is C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁, which is the formula for sucrose (table sugar). 2. **Count the Atoms in One Molecule**: - In the formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁: - There are 12 carbon (C) atoms. - There are 22 hydrogen (H) atoms. - There are 11 oxygen (O) atoms. - Therefore, one molecule of sucrose contains a total of: - 12 (C) + 22 (H) + 11 (O) = 45 atoms. 3. **Determine the Number of Molecules in One Mole**: - One mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of molecules, which is approximately \(6.02 \times 10^{23}\). 4. **Calculate the Number of Hydrogen Atoms in One Mole**: - Since one molecule of sucrose contains 22 hydrogen atoms, one mole of sucrose (which contains \(6.02 \times 10^{23}\) molecules) will contain: - \(22 \text{ hydrogen atoms/molecule} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} \text{ molecules} = 1.32 \times 10^{25} \text{ hydrogen atoms}\). 5. **Evaluate the Original Statement**: - The statement claims that "1 mole of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ contains 22 hydrogen atoms." However, we calculated that it actually contains \(1.32 \times 10^{25}\) hydrogen atoms. - Therefore, the statement is **false**. ### Final Answer: The statement "1 mole of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ contains 22 hydrogen atoms" is **false**.
