Question

Calculate the molecular mass of glucose $\left(C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6\right)$ molecule.

Answer 1

Since the molecular formula of glucose is $C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6$, it has $6$ atoms of carbon element, $12$ atoms of hydrogen element, and $6$ atoms of oxygen element.

So, molecular weight of $C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6=(6\times \text{Atomic weight of corbon}+(12\times \text{Atomic weight of hydrogen})+(6\times \text{Atomic weight of oxygen}\left)\right)$

$M_{C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6}=6\times 12.011+12\times 1.008+6\times 16.00$

$M_{C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6}=180.162u$


$\text{Final Answer}:$ The molecular mass of glucose $\left(C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6\right)$ molecule is $180u.$
