One mole (mol) of glucose (molecular mass = 180 daltons) is ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One mole of a substance is equal to its molecular mass in grams. Therefore, one mole of glucose (180 daltons) is equal to 180 grams of glucose. Note that choice A is incorrect because 1 mole of glucose would contain 6.02 x 10^23 molecules of glucose, not 180 x 10^23 molecules. Choice B is also incorrect because 1 kilogram of glucose would contain more than 1 mole of glucose, and it would not necessarily be dissolved in 1 litre of solution. Choice C is incorrect because 180 mL is a measurement of volume, not mass.
