A mole (abbreviated mol) is defined as an exact number of objects: 6.02 × 1023 (Avogadro's number). You can have 1 mole of an atom, a molecule, or any other object, such as eggs or books. One mole of an object equals 6.02 × 1023 of that object. The table shows the "molar ratios" of some of the products from the Miller H2S experiment. In a molar ratio, each unitless value is expressed relative to a standard for that experiment. Here, the standard is the number of moles of the amino acid glycine, which is set to a value of 1.0. For instance, serine has a molar ratio of 3.0 × 10-2, meaning that for every mole of glycine, there is 3.0 × 10-2 mole of serine present in the sample. What is the molar ratio of methionine to glycine in the samples?

1.8 × 10-3 mole of methionine per mole of glycine
