Glucose is a physiological sugar. What is the mass% `C` mass% `H` and mass% `O` in glucose `(C_(6) H_(12) O_(6))`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D
`Mw` of glucose `= C_(6) H_(12) O_(6) = 12 xx 6 + 1 xx 12 + 16 xx 6`
`= 180 g`
a. `180 g` of glucose `= 72 g of C`
`100 g` of glucose `(72 xx 100)/(180) = 40%`
b. `% of H = (12 xx 100)/(180) = 6.67 %`
c. `% of O = (96 xx 100)/(180) = 53.33 %`
