The amount of acrylamide found in potato chips is 1.7 mg/kg. If a serving of potato chips is 34 g, how many moles of acrylamide are you consuming?

Respuesta :

"[tex]8.140\times 10^{-7} \ moles[/tex]" number of moles of acrylamide are you consuming.

According to the question,

Molar mass of acrylamide,

  • 71 g/mole

Mole of acrylamide per kg of chips will be:

= [tex]\frac{Mass \ of \ acrylamide}{Molar \ mass \ of \ acrylamide}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

= [tex]\frac{0.0017}{71}[/tex]

= [tex]2.394\times 10^{-4} \ moles[/tex]

In 34 g of chips,

→ The moles of acrylamide will be:

= [tex]\frac{moles \ per \ kg\times 34}{1000}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{2.394\times 10^{-4}\times 34}{1000}[/tex]

= [tex]8.140\times 10^{-7} \ moles[/tex]
