Answer
### Glucose:
, Sulfuric acid:
, Butene:
Explanation
## Step 1: Write down the molecular formula.### For each substance, write down its molecular formula.- Glucose:
- Sulfuric acid:
- Butene:
## Step 2: Determine the simplest mole ratio.### Calculate the proportions of each element in the simplest form for the substances:- For Glucose
: - Carbon (C): 6 - Hydrogen (H): 12 - Oxygen (O): 6 - Simplest ratio:
- For Sulfuric acid
: - Hydrogen (H): 2 - Sulfur (S): 1 - Oxygen (O): 4 - Simplest ratio:
(already simplest)- For Butene
: - Carbon (C): 4 - Hydrogen (H): 8 - Simplest ratio:
