00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.923
Here is the problem: What is the molar mass of C6H12O6?

2
00:00:05.373 --> 00:00:12.699
Add the atomic weights of all 24 atoms in one formula unit of C6H12O6.

3
00:00:13.499 --> 00:00:24.006
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
00:00:24.456 --> 00:00:31.410
Look up each atomic weight (g/mol). IUPAC standard atomic weights (abridged, conventional values).

5
00:00:31.860 --> 00:00:34.728
Multiply each count by its atomic weight.

6
00:00:35.178 --> 00:00:36.664
Add the contributions.

7
00:00:37.464 --> 00:00:39.217
Mass percent of each element.

8
00:00:40.017 --> 00:00:48.295
So the answer is M(C6H12O6) equals 180.156 g/mol.

9
00:00:48.745 --> 00:01:00.285
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).

10
00:01:01.085 --> 00:01:04.963
Percent composition adds to 100.00 percent.

11
00:01:05.413 --> 00:01:11.334
Elements: carbon times 6, hydrogen times 12, oxygen times 6.
