Chapter 6, Problem 6.32CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of moles of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ on combustion of cytosine has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Number of moles:

One mole is the equal to number of atoms in $\text{12g}$ of carbon $\text{-12}$ which is equal to $\text{6}{\text{.023×10}}^{\text{23}}$ atoms. This is also known as Avogadro number.

$\text{Number of moles =}\text{concentration}\text{of}\text{element×}\text{no}\text{of}\text{atoms}\text{in}\text{the}\text{molecular}\text{formula}$
