00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.001
Here is the problem: How many moles are in 45 g of C6H12O6?

2
00:00:07.451 --> 00:00:15.276
Add the atomic weights of all 24 atoms in one formula unit of C6H12O6.

3
00:00:16.076 --> 00:00:26.409
Count the atoms of each element. Subscripts multiply everything inside the brackets before them, and a hydrate coefficient multiplies the whole water (or other) unit.

4
00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:33.941
Look up each atomic weight (g/mol). IUPAC standard atomic weights (abridged, conventional values).

5
00:00:34.391 --> 00:00:37.328
Multiply each count by its atomic weight.

6
00:00:37.778 --> 00:00:39.229
Add the contributions.

7
00:00:40.029 --> 00:00:41.910
Mass percent of each element.

8
00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:44.369
Convert the sample mass to moles.

9
00:00:44.819 --> 00:00:46.526
Number of formula units.

10
00:00:47.326 --> 00:01:00.898
So the answer is M(C6H12O6) equals 180.156 g/mol; 45 g equals 0.249784 mol.

11
00:01:01.348 --> 00:01:12.842
The molar mass is the mass of one mole of formula units. It equals the sum of the atomic weights of every atom in the formula, and numerically matches the formula mass in daltons (u).

12
00:01:13.642 --> 00:01:17.787
Percent composition adds to 100.00 percent.

13
00:01:18.237 --> 00:01:24.100
Elements: carbon times 6, hydrogen times 12, oxygen times 6.
