Adding up the atomic masses (C=12, H=1, O=16) for each formula: ethanol (C2H5OH) has a relative molecular mass of 46, and glucose (C6H12O6) has a relative molecular mass of 180.

  1. Ethanol, C2H5OH — written out fully this is C2H6O (2 carbons, 6 hydrogens, 1 oxygen): Mass = 2(12) + 6(1) + 1(16) = 24 + 6 + 16 = 46
  2. Glucose, C6H12O6 (6 carbons, 12 hydrogens, 6 oxygens): Mass = 6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16) = 72 + 12 + 96 = 180 …
