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.

Given: The given compound is .
To find: We have to find the molecular mass.
Solution:
The molecular mass of glucose can be determined as follows-
The compound is .
The atomic mass of C is 12u.
The atomic mass of Oxygen is 16u and H is 1u.
This compound contains 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms.
So, the molecular mass will be-
Thus, the molecular mass of glucose is 180u.
