Calculate the weight of 1 mol of glucose.(The atomic weight of carbon = 12).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6. To calculate the weight of 1 mol of glucose, we need to add up the atomic weights of all the atoms in one molecule of glucose.

6 (carbon atoms) x 12 (atomic weight of carbon) = 72
12 (hydrogen atoms) x 1 (atomic weight of hydrogen) = 12
6 (oxygen atoms) x 16 (atomic weight of oxygen) = 96

Total atomic weight = 72 + 12 + 96 = 180 grams/mol. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
