There are clearly $\frac{10}{3}$ $10/3$ $m o l$ $mol$ propane. Why?

Explanation:

Each formula unit of propane contains 3 carbon atoms, and 8 hydrogen atoms. Thus if there are $10.0$ $10.0$ $m o l$ $mol$ carbon atoms in the propane sample, there are:

$\frac{10}{3}$ $10/3$ $m o l$ $mol$ $C_{3} H_{8}$ $C_3H_8$ and $\frac{80}{3}$ $80/3$ $m o l$ $mol$ $H$ $H$ atoms.
