Table sugar (sucrose) can be dehydrated to make activated carbon. Assuming the collection of the activated carbon is in 100% yield, what mass of carbon could be obtained from 2.4 kg of sucrose?
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.

Convert the weight of table sugar into moles and according to stoichiometry calculate the moles of Carbon. Converting the moles of Carbon to weight will give mass of carbon would be obtained because yield is 100%.
