What is the quantity of sugar charcoal remaining behind after charring 17.1 g sugar using conc. $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$ under ideal conditions?
  1. 7.2 g
  2. 14.4 g
  3. 10.5 g
  4. 11.4 g

Solution

$\mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}_{11} \underset{-11 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}{\longrightarrow} 12 \mathrm{C}$ $\frac{17.1}{342}=0.05 \text { moles } 0.6 \mathrm{~mol}$ Mass of charcoal $=0.06 \times 12=7.2 \mathrm{~g}$
