The vitamin a molecule has the formula c20h30o, and a molecule of vitamin a2 has the formula c20h28o. deter- mine how many moles of vitamin a2 contain the same number of atoms as 1.000 mol vitamin a.

1.04 moles of vitamin A2 contain the same number of atoms as 1.000 mol vitamin A

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Vitamin A = C20H30O

Vitamin A2 = C20H28O

Step 2: Determine the atoms in vitamin A

Vitamin A has 20 C atoms and 30 H atoms and 1 O-atom

In total we have 51 atoms in vitamin A

Step 3: Calculate numbers of atom in 1 mol

1 mol contains 6.022 * 10^23

For 51 atoms = 51 * 6.022*10^23 = 306 *10^23

Step 4: Determine atoms in vitamin A2

Vitamin A2 has 20 C atoms and 28 H atoms and 1 O-atom

In total we have 49 atoms in vitamin A2

Step 5: Calculate molecules A2

Molecules A2 = 306 *10^23  / 49

molecules A2 = 6.24*10^23

Step 6: Calculate how many moles of vitamin A2 contain the same number of atoms as 1.000 mol vitamin A.

n = 6.24*10^23 / 6.022*10^23 = 1.04 mol

1.04 moles of vitamin A2 contain the same number of atoms as 1.000 mol vitamin A

c is the answer because when something is left after something evaporates that shows the chemical change.
