Answer:

Molecular formula of the compound- C5H10O6

Molecular mass of the compound = 166.127 g

Explanation:

The molecule is a sugar with molecular formula C5H10O6. Now, we have to note the relative atomic masses of the elements in order to calculate the molecular mass of the compound to the hundredth place.

Carbon= 12.011, Hydrogen= 1.00784, Oxygen= 15.999

Hence , molecular mass = 5(12.011) + 10(1.00784) + 6(15.999)

Molecular mass = 60.055 + 10.0784 + 95.994

Molecular mass= 166.127 g
