Question

Relative formula mass of glucose? (C6H12O6)

Answer 1

To find the mass of glucose, you must multiply the atomic weight of each of the elements in the molecule by the subscripts in the formula:

$C_{6}=6*(12.01g)=72.06g$

$H_{12}=12*(1.008g)=12.096g$

$O_{6}=6*(15.999g)=95.994g$

Then you add all of them together:

$72.06g+12.096g+95.994g=180.15g$

Therefore, the molar weight of glucose is 180.15 grams.
