- There are quite a few pieces of information we can glean from a chemical formula. The first is the mass of that formula. In looking at the periodic table, we know that each element has its own mass. When we combine that information with how we interpret how many of each element there is in the formula that we just went over, we can calculate the mass of the compound. Using glucose as an example: C6H12O6 tells us that glucose has 6 carbons, 12 hydrogens and 6 oxygens. On the periodic table, carbon has a mass of 12 g, hydrogen has a mass of 1 g, and oxygen has a mass of 16 g (I've rounded for ease. There will be times you use the entire mass provided on the table and times you won't -you'll know when). C = 6 x 12g = 72g H = 12 X 1g = 12 g O = 6 X 16g = 96g Add these values together and you get 180 g so glucose has a mass of 180 g. Calculate the mass of H2SO4.arrow_forwardCan you do question 3 and please make your handwriting clear also you guys keep returning this question if you cannot do it just say i dont know howarrow_forwardyOregonState- Overview x CHEM 101 Homework po Chem101 M Inbox (59) - ketelk@oregonsta x app.101edu.co ps M Gmail YouTube a News Question 8.a of 49 Consider two compounds.
