Answer:
Amount = 0.0027 mol
Explanation:
The molecular formula of vitamin C is: C₆H₈O₆. Therefore, its molar mass will be:
Molar Mass = 6(Mass of carbon) + 8(Mass of Hydrogen) + 6 (Mass of Oxygen)
Molar Mass = 6(12 g/mol) + 8(1 g/mol) + 6(16 g/mol)
Molar Mass = 176 g/mol
Molar Mass = 176000 mg/mol
Now, for the amount of Vitamin C in 1 tablet
Amount = Mass of Tablet/Molar Mass
Amount = (475 mg)/(176000 mg/mol)
Amount = 0.0027 mol
