Question

Calculate molecular mass of glucose molecule.

Solution

The molecular mass of glucose (C6H12O6) molecule is approximately 180.15 atomic mass units (u).

Here’s how to calculate it:

  1. Find the atomic masses of each element:
    • Carbon (C): 12.01 u (from the periodic table)
    • Hydrogen (H): 1.008 u (from the periodic table)
    • Oxygen (O): 15.999 u (from the periodic table)
  2. Multiply the atomic mass of each element by the number of atoms in the molecule:
    • Carbon: 12.01 u/atom * 6 atoms = 72.06 u
    • Hydrogen: 1.008 u/atom * 12 atoms = 12.096 u
    • Oxygen: 15.999 u/atom * 6 atoms = 95.994 u
  3. Add the masses of all the elements to find the total molecular mass: Total molecular mass = 72.06 u + 12.096 u + 95.994 u = 180.15 u

Therefore, the molecular mass of a glucose molecule is approximately 180.15 atomic mass units.
