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

C6H12O6 = 12.01 x 6 + 1.01 x 12 + 16.00 x 6 => 180.18 g/mol

Answer 2

The molar mass of glucose is 180.06.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the molar mass of a molecule you have to consider the individual atomic mass of each element constituting the molecule, multiply by the moles of the element present in the molucule and then sum.

So molar mass of C6H12O6 = 6 x 12.01 + 12 x 1.01 + 6 x 16.00 ⇒

molar mass of C6H12O6 = 180.06.
