What is the molecular mass of glucose molecule up to 6 significant figures?

What is the molecular mass of glucose \( C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} \) molecule up to 6 significant figures?

  • A. 0180.16
  • B. 180.16
  • C. 180.1620
  • D. 180.162

Step-by-step solution

Using atomic masses: C=12.011, H=1.008, O=16.00 (common approximation), the molecular mass is 6*12.011 + 12*1.008 + 6*16.00 = 72.066 + 12.096 + 96.00 = 180.162. This is accurate to 6 significant figures.
