Massing Mole of Sucrose

Everybody has heard of sugar. But how many people realize that sugar is not a single molecule but a family of similar molecular compounds. What we think of as sugar (the solid stuff you put on your cereal) is really the molecular compound sucrose (not glucose). It has a chemical formula of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ and basically is two units of glucose (of course minus the water, H₂O since it is a hydrogenation reaction).

In this lab, you will use your knowledge of the mole concept to determine the mass of sucrose you need to weigh out to a desired number of moles of sucrose. Once each group completes the calculation (and write it on this sheet of paper), each group will weigh out that specific amount of sucrose in a Zip Lock and hand it into your teacher.

Directions

1) Using the space on back of this page, determine the mass of sucrose needed to weigh out for your desired moles of sucrose.

2) After checking your answer with the teacher, obtain a Zip Lock plastic bag.

3)With a permanent marker, write the following information on the bag (before massing).
a) Group Name:
b) Peoples name in Group
c)Group Letter:#
d)Mass of sucrose needed to get desired moles of sucrose

Group Name:

Peoples name in Group:

Group Letter (moles to mass out):
