=19.2gH_2O=19.2gH2O

Explanation:

  1. Find the molar mass of the involved compounds which are obtainable from the periodic table.

C_6H_12O_6=(180g)/(mol)C6H12O6=180gmol

H_2O=(18g)/(mol)H2O=18gmol

  1. Given the mass of the glucose, per convention, convert the "gram"gram to "mole"mole; i.e;

=32cancel(gC_6H_12O_6)xx(1molC_6H_12O_6)/(180cancel(gC_6H_12O_6))

=0.1778molC_6H_12O_6

  1. Referring to the given balanced equation for the mole ratio, find the etaH_2O through molar conversion; i.e;

=0.1778cancel(molC_6H_12O_6)xx(6molH_2O)/(1cancel(molC_6H_12O_6))

=1.0667molH_2O

  1. Now, find the mH_2O.

=1.0667cancel(molH_2O)xx(18gH_2O)/(1cancel(molH_2O))

=19.2gH_2O

Please see the step process below;

Explanation:

We have the formula;

C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2 -> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O

Mole ratio

1 : 6 -> 6 : 6

Hence 1 mole of glucose gives 6 moles of water

Mass ratio

180g : 192g -> 264g : 108g

It then means that;

180g will yield 108g of water

32g will give x of water

rArr 180/32 = 108/x

Cross multiplying..

rArr 180 xx x = 108 xx 32

rArr 180x = 3456

Divide both sides by 180

rArr (180x)/180 = 3456/180

rArr (cancel180x)/cancel180 = 3456/180

rArr x = 3456/180

rArr x = 19.2g
