Question: how many grams of carbon are contained in 1.00 mol of c2h6?
Answer: Since we know the atomic masses of the elements, we can sum the atomic masses to obtain the molecular masses. We also know that 1 mole of C atoms weighs 12.01 g and 1 mol of H atoms weighs 1.0079 g. So, we know the molar mass of ethane also. Or, 30.07 g in 1 mole C2H6.
