Question

calculate the molecular mass of Glucose​

Answer 1

Answer:

The molecular formula of Glucose is C6H12O6

Explanation:

• mass of C = 6 * 12 = 72
• mass of H = 12 * 1 = 12
• mass of O = 6 * 16 = 96

So, total mass of Glucose molecule = 72 + 12 + 96 = 180

Therefore, the molecular mass of Glucose is 180 grams.

Answer 2

Molecular Mass - Molecular mass is the number which shows that one molecule of a substance is how many it's heavier than 1/12 part of C-12 atom.

Now let's calculate the molecular mass of Glucose -

• Note - The Chemical Formula of glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆.

Molecular mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ -

Carbon (C) = 12

Hydrogen (H) = 1

Oxygen (O) = 16

Solution -

$\longrightarrow \tt {6\times C+12\times H+6\times O}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {6\times12+12\times1+6\times16}$

$\longrightarrow \tt {72+12+96}$

$\longrightarrow \tt\blue {180u}$

• The molecular mass of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is 180u.
