Question

The atomic mass of carbon is 12.01, hydrogen is 1.01, and oxygen is 16.00. What is the molar mass of glucose (C6H12O6)?

Answer 1

To find out the molar mass, you have to break down each of the elements, then add them up.

C6 = 12.01 x 6 = 72.06   (Beacause, there are 6 carbon atoms)
H12 = 1.01 x 12 = 12.12  (Because, there are 12 hydrogen atoms)
O6 = 16.00 x 6 =  96  (Because there are 6 oxygen atoms)

Now, you will add all three of the elements up: 72.06 + 12.12 + 96 = 180.18.

So the molar mass of glucose is 180.18.

Answer 2

Answer:

180.18 g/mol is the molar mass of glucose.

Explanation:

Molar mass is defined as the sum of the mass of all the atoms each multiplied its atomic masses that are present in the molecular formula of a compound. It is expressed in g/mol.

Atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16.00 g/mol

Molecular formula of glucose = $C_6H_{12}O_6$

Molar mass of glucose:

$=6\times 12.01 g/mol+12\times 1.01 g/mol+6\times 16.00 g/mol$

= 180.18 g/mol
