Answer

Number of molecules: 8.089*1022 molecules

Explanation

The formula for this question is

Number of molecules

= Number of moles * 6.02x1023

Since,

the number of moles = given mass/formula mass

Here,

Formula mass of sucrose = 342.3 g/mol

Given mass = 46g

Therefore,

The number of molecules = given mass*6.02*1023/

Formula mass

=46*6.02*1023/342.3

=8.089*1022 molecules.
