Question

c₆h₁₂o₆
express your answer in atomic mass units to two decimal places.
formula mass =
amu

Explanation:

Step1: Recall atomic masses

Carbon (C) atomic mass ≈ 12.01 amu, Hydrogen (H) ≈ 1.008 amu, Oxygen (O) ≈ 16.00 amu.

Step2: Calculate total for each element

For C: \( 6 \times 12.01 = 72.06 \) amu
For H: \( 12 \times 1.008 = 12.096 \) amu
For O: \( 6 \times 16.00 = 96.00 \) amu

Step3: Sum the masses

Total formula mass = \( 72.06 + 12.096 + 96.00 = 180.156 \) amu, rounded to two decimals: 180.16 amu.

Answer:

180.16
