Molar Mass of C6H12O6

How to work out the molar mass of C6H12O6

1. Count the atoms of each element in C6H12O6: 6 C, 12 H and 6 O.
2. Multiply each count by the element's atomic weight: 6 × 12.011 = 72.066; 12 × 1.008 = 12.096; 6 × 15.999 = 95.994.
3. Add the results: 72.066 + 12.096 + 95.994 = 180.156 g/mol.
