1 . Mass of oxygen atoms in 1 8 g of glucose:
m O 1 = molar mass of C X 6 H X 1 2 O X 6 molar mass of O X 6 × 1 8 g = 6 × 1 2 + 1 2 × 1 + 6 × 1 6 6 × 1 6 × 1 8 g = 9 . 6 g
2 . Mass of oxygen atoms in 9 0 g of water:
m O 2 = molar mass of H X 2 O molar mass of O × 9 0 g = 2 × 1 + 1 6 1 6 × 9 0 g = 8 0 g
Therefore, the total mass of oxygen atoms in glucose solution = m O 1 + m O 2 = 8 9 . 6 g .
