Question

question 22 of 25
how many oxygen atoms are in a molecule of table sugar (c₁₂h₂₂o₁₁)?

a. 45

b. 12

c. 22

d. 11

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the chemical formula

In the chemical formula \( \text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11} \), the subscript after each element symbol represents the number of atoms of that element in one molecule.

Step2: Identify the number of oxygen atoms

For oxygen (O), the subscript is 11. This means there are 11 oxygen atoms in one molecule of table sugar.

Answer:

D. 11
