Example: b) glucose.
a. determine the molecular mass of the compound: 6*12+12*1+6*16= 180
Percent of C= 6*12/180 x 100
percent of H= 12*1/180 x 100
percent of O= 6*16/180 x 100
and of course, the percents should add to 100.
Express the composition of each of the following compounds as the mass percents of its elements...?
