the molar mass is 180 or 180.1572 if you want to get really exact. You just simple substitute the letters with the molar mass of the molecule they represent. H is 1, C is 12, O is 16, thus (12*6)+(1*12)+(16*6).



The percentage for Oxygen is just the overall mass of oxygen, divided by the total mass. So, (16*6)/(12*6)+(1*12)+(16*6) or 96/180, then just multiply the answer by 100. Giving you 53.33% or, if you used the exact numbers, you get 53.28%



so

1) 180 or 180.1572'

2) 53.33% or %3.28%

molar mass of C6H12O6 (glucose) is: 12(6) + 1(12) + 16(6) = 72 + 12 + 96 = 180 g/mol

mass due to oxygen = 16(6) = 96g/mol

Percent oxygen = (96/180)*100 = 53.33%

The fact that the question asked for one molecule because percentage is just a proportion and since all chemical combinations have constant ratios the ratio (or percentage) of oxygen in glucose will remain the same regardless of how many moles, grams, molecules, etc you have.

I even have this leather-based belt that has 5 notches on it. It replaced into almost tight on me. It replaced into on the final notch. i might desire to slightly breathe. while i could do it up, i might desire to slightly do it up. and that i endure in recommendations that belt, because of the fact I had it for years, and that i used to have the potential to truthfully positioned it on. and that's while i might desire to truly see that i replaced into getting a sprint wider than i had to be. So while i began out this methodology, i replaced into on the final notch. And now that belt with the 5 notches is a lot too massive for me. i can pull it out to here, and that i've got stored the belt to endure in recommendations purely how a lot weight i've got lost.
