Question

 Which of the following statements has the most molecules?

 a, 100 picomoles of glucose

 

  b, 1 mole of glucose

 

  c, 100 micromoles of glucose

 

  d, 10000 millimoles of glucose

 

Answer 1

Let's put them all in the same units, and then compare to see which has the most moles.

a, 100 picomoles of glucose x 1 mol/1x10¹² moles = 1x10^-10 moles

 

b, 1 mole of glucose = 1 mol

 

c, 100 micromoles of glucose x 1 mol/1x10⁶ moles = 1x10^-4 moles

 

d, 10000 millimoles of glucose x 1 mol/10³ moles = 10 moles

(d) would have the most moles of glucose
