Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Identify atomic masses

Carbon (C): $12.01$ amu, Hydrogen (H): $1.008$ amu, Oxygen (O): $16.00$ amu.

Step2: Calculate total for each element

• C: $6 \times 12.01 = 72.06$
• H: $12 \times 1.008 = 12.096$
• O: $6 \times 16.00 = 96.00$

Step3: Sum the masses

Total formula mass = $72.06 + 12.096 + 96.00 = 180.156$

Step4: Round to two decimals

$180.16$ amu (rounded from $180.156$).

Answer:

180.16
