Answer: There are 6 moles of carbon atom present in 3 moles of dimethylsulfoxide
Explanation:
We are given:
A chemical compound named dimethylsulfoxide having chemical formula of [tex]C_2H_6SO[/tex]
In 1 mole of dimethylsulfoxide, 2 moles of carbon atom, 6 moles of hydrogen atom, 1 mole of sulfur atom and 1 mole of oxygen atom is present.
We need to calculate the number of moles of carbon present in 3 moles of dimethylsulfoxide
So, in 3 moles of dimethylsulfoxide, [tex](2\times 3)=6[/tex] moles of carbon atom, [tex](6\times 3)=18[/tex] moles of hydrogen atom, [tex](1\times 3)=3[/tex] moles of sulfur atom and [tex](1\times 3)=3[/tex] moles of oxygen atom are present.
Hence, there are 6 moles of carbon atom present in 3 moles of dimethylsulfoxide
