  • Molecular Weight Calculation: CO2 and Sucrose (C12H22O11)
    Here's how to calculate the molecular weights of carbon dioxide (CO2) and sugar (C12H22O11):

    Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

    * Carbon (C): 12.01 g/mol

    * Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol

    Calculation:

    (12.01 g/mol) + (16.00 g/mol * 2) = 44.01 g/mol

    Sugar (C12H22O11)

    * Carbon (C): 12.01 g/mol

    * Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol

    * Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol

    Calculation:

    (12.01 g/mol * 12) + (1.01 g/mol * 22) + (16.00 g/mol * 11) = 342.30 g/mol

    Therefore:

    * The molecular weight of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 44.01 g/mol.

    * The molecular weight of sugar (C12H22O11) is 342.30 g/mol.
