Do you know the molecular mass of glucose and its structural formula?
180, C6H12O6
160, C6H12O6
180, C6H11O6
180, C6H4O7
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)
