What is the formula mass (molar mass) of sucrose (C12H22O11), table sugar? Question 11 options: 130 g/mol 29 g/mol 386 g/mol 342 g/mol Save
Im not sure if it would be 386 g/mol or 342 g/mol

M ( C12H22O11) = M(C)*12 + M(H)*22 + M(O)*11

M (C12H22O11) = 12,0*12 + 1,0*22 + 16,0*11

M = 144 + 22 + 176
M = 342 g/mol

Hope this helps !

Answer: The molar mass of sucrose is 342 g/mol

Explanation:

Molar mass is defined as the sum of the mass of all the atoms each multiplied its atomic masses that are present in the molecular formula of a compound. It is expressed in g/mol.

The molecular formula of sucrose is [tex]C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}[/tex]

We know that:

Atomic mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of sucrose = [tex](12\times 12)+(22\times 1)+(11\times 16)]=342g/mol[/tex]

Hence, the molar mass of sucrose is 342 g/mol
