Question

If one mole of ammonia contains “y” number of particles, then how many particles do 1 mole of glucose contain?

(a) 2y

(b) 0.5y

(c) 3y

(d) y

The question was posed to me in an international level competition.

This interesting question is from Mole Concept and Molar Masses in chapter Chemistry Basic Concepts of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) y

The explanation: Let it be any compound, but one mole of a substance always contains Avogadro’s number of particles. In the above question, Avogadro’s number (6.022×10^23) is given by the letter “y”. so, in 1 mole of glucose, there is y number of particles.
