Given - 5 ×10²³ molecules of glucose
Find - Mass of given molecules of glucose.
Solution - Glucose has chemical formula C6H12O6 where C is carbon, H is hydrogen and O is oxygen. As per their atomic weight, the molar mass of glucose is 180 grams. And number of molecules in 1 mole will be equivalent to Avogadro's constant which is 6.022*10²³.
So, 6.022*10²³ molecules of glucose weigh 180 gram
5 ×10²³ molecules of glucose will weigh = 180*5*10²³/6.022*10²³
Weigh of 5*10²³ molecules of glucose = 149.43 gram
Hence, the mass of 5 ×10²³ molecules of glucose is 149.43 gram
