Answer to Question #308313 in Chemistry for rue

Question

What is the mass of 5.45 x 10 ^-3 moles of glucose (C ₆H ₁₂O ₆)?

Answer 1

Solution:

Moles = Mass / Molar mass

The molar mass of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is 180.16 g/mol

Therefore,

Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = Moles of C₆H₁₂O₆ × Molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆

Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = (5.45×10^–3 mol) × (180.16 g/mol) = 0.982 g

Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 0.982 g

Answer: The mass of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is 0.982 grams
