  • Calculate the Mass of Sucrose: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the mass of sucrose:

    1. Find the Molar Mass of Sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁)

    * Carbon (C): 12.01 g/mol * 12 = 144.12 g/mol

    * Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol * 22 = 22.22 g/mol

    * Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol * 11 = 176.00 g/mol

    Total molar mass of sucrose: 144.12 + 22.22 + 176.00 = 342.34 g/mol

    2. Use the Formula:

    * Mass (g) = Moles (mol) * Molar Mass (g/mol)

    3. Plug in the Values:

    * Mass = 0.0287 mol * 342.34 g/mol

    4. Calculate the Mass:

    * Mass = 9.83 g

    Therefore, the mass of 0.0287 mol of sucrose is 9.83 grams.
