Question

Calculate the molecular mass of glucose

Answer 1

• Glucose = C₆H₁₂O₆.
• Atomic mass of C = 12 u
• Atomic mass of H = 1 u
• Atomic mass of O = 16 u
• Therefore, the molecular mass of glucose
• = (6 × Atomic mass of C) + (12 × Atomic mass of H) + (6 × Atomic mass of O)
• = (6 × 12) + (12 × 1) + (6 × 16) u
• = 72 + 12 + 96 u
• = 180 u

Answer:

180 u
