First step is to calculate how many moles of C6H12O6 are in one gram - fo yuo know how to do that? Then the number of C6H12O6 molecules in one gram is that number of moles times times Avogadro's number. Finally - there are 6 C's per molecule, so multiply by 6. Post back and we'll check yuor work for you.
