One Mole (Mol)of Glucose (Molecular Mass = 180 Daltons)is

Question

One mole (mol)of glucose (molecular mass = 180 daltons)is
A)180 × 10²³ molecules of glucose.
B)1 kg of glucose dissolved in 1 L of solution.
C)the largest amount of glucose that can be dissolved in 1 L of solution.
D)180 kilograms of glucose.
E)both 180 grams of glucose and 6.02 × 10²³ molecules of glucose.

Accepted Answer

One mole of glucose is equal to its molecular mass in grams (180g) and also contains Avogadro's number of molecules (6.02 x 10^23). Therefore, both options E (180 grams of glucose and 6.02 x 10^23 molecules of glucose) are correct. Option B and C are incorrect because one mole of glucose does not necessarily equate to 1 kg or the maximum amount that can be dissolved in 1 L of solution, as this depends on the solubility of glucose in the particular solvent. Option D is also incorrect as it implies a much larger amount of glucose than one mole.
