The mass (in grams) of 8.45 x 10^23 molecules of dextrose is 252.798g Working: Mw. dextrose is 180.16 g/mol therefore 180.16 grams dextrose = 1 mole therefore 180.16 grams dextrose = 6.022x10^23 molecules (Avogadro's number) We have 8.45 x 10^23 molecules of dextrose. Therefore, (180.16 divided by 6.022x10^23) times 8.45x10^23 gives the mass (in grams) of 8.45 x 10^23 molecules of dextrose; 252.798.
