How to Find the Mass of One Molecule of Glucose (C6H12O6)
There are two steps to find the mass of a single molecule of Glucose (C6H12O6) in grams. First we find the molar mass for Glucose using the Periodic Table. We then divide this by Avogadro's Number (6.02 x E23).
To find the molar mass for Glucose we add up the atomic masses of the individual atoms in the Methane molecule. Once we have the molar mass for Glucose we can divide by Avogadro's Number to find the mass of a single molecule of Glucose .
You should check your answer to make sure it makes sense. Since molecules are very, very small you should get a very small number as your answer.
Note that this is the mass for a single molecule of Glucose (C6H12O6). In reality electronic balances are not able to measure the mass of one single molecule at a time due to their small size.
