Answer:

Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g

Explanation:

Mass of glucose given is 55grams.

We are to find the mass of oxygen in this compound.

In the compound we have 6 atoms of oxygen.

Solution

To find the mass of oxygen in glucose, we calculate the formula mass of glucose. We now divide the formula mass of the oxygen atom with that of the glucose and multiply by the given mass to find the unkown mass.

Atomic mass of C = 12g

H = 1g

O = 16g

Formula mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = {(12x6) + (1x12) + (16x6)} = 180

Mass of O in glucose = $\frac{6x16}{180}$ x 55

= $\frac{96}{180}$ x 55

= 0.53 x 55

Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g

Explanation:

A. Constitutional or structural isomers have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

B. Conformational isomers are compounds having the same atom to atom connectivity but differ by rotation about one or more single bonds.

C. Stereo isomers are compounds having the same molecular mass and atom to atom connectivity but different arrangement of atoms and groups in space.

I. Enantiomers are stereo isomers (optical isomers particularly) that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.

II. Diasteromers are optical isomers that are not mirror images of each other.

Both diasteromers and enantiomers are types of optical isomers which in turn is one of the types of stereo isomers.

Stereo isomers differ from conformational isomers in that the arrangement of atoms in stereo isomers is permanent while conformational isomers results from free rotations in molecules about single bonds.
