each molecule has 2 + 6 +1 = 9 atoms
135/9 = ?
135/9 = ?
135/9 = 15
That is ethanol
C2H6O4 would be 12 atoms / molecule
that would give you 135/12 = 11.25
That is dioxydimethanol
I have a hunch you have a typo somewhere
what = 12.162 atoms/molecule. That makes no sense.
C2H6O represents ethanol, which consists of 2 carbon atoms (C), 6 hydrogen atoms (H), and 1 oxygen atom (O).
To calculate the number of atoms, we add up the number of atoms of each element in the compound.
Total number of atoms in C2H6O = (2 carbon atoms) + (6 hydrogen atoms) + (1 oxygen atom)
= 9 atoms
So, C2H6O contains a total of 9 atoms.
Now, to determine the number of molecules of C2H6O required to have 135 atoms, we can set up a simple proportion:
Number of molecules of C2H6O / Total number of atoms in C2H6O = Given total number of atoms / Number of atoms in one molecule of C2H6O
Number of molecules of C2H6O / 9 = 135 / 1
To find the number of molecules of C2H6O, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 9:
Number of molecules of C2H6O = (135 / 1) * 9
Therefore, the number of molecules of C2H6O required to have 135 atoms in total is 1,215 molecules.
