How we worked it out

Updated as you change the numbers.

  1. 6 × C (12.011) + 12 × H (1.008) + 6 × O (15.999).

Method and assumptions

Molar mass is the sum of the standard atomic weights of every atom in the formula. Atomic weights are IUPAC standard values to five significant figures; for radioactive elements without a standard weight, the mass number of the most stable isotope is used.
