Do you know the molecular mass of glucose and its structural formula?
180,
160,
The structural formula of glucose is C6H12O6. Remember this! You will learn more about this compound later. The molecular mass would be,
(6×12)+(12×1)+(6×16)=180.
The molecular formula of glucose is C6H12O6. Calculate its molecular mass. (Atomic masses: C = 12 u; H = 1 u; O = 16 u)
