Question

Calculate the mass of 1.2 mol of glucose, C6H1206?

Answer 1

Answer:

180.18 g

i.e. mass of 1 mole of glucose, C6H12O6 = (6 × 12.01 + 12 × 1.01 + 6 × 16.00) g = 180.18 g (using atomic weight data to 2 decimals) 1 mole of carbon atoms weighs 12.01 g and there are 6 moles of C atoms in 1 mole of glucose, so the mass of carbon in 1 mole of glucose = 6 × 12.01 g = 72.06 g.
