Well, we know that #1*mol# of glucose molecules has a mass of #180.16*g#..

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of one glucose molecule, we divide the molecular mass of glucose by Avogadro's number......

Glucose, #C_6H_12O_6#, has a molecular mass of #180.16*g*mol^-1#. Since there are #6.022xx10^23# individual species in a mole, the mass of a single glucose molecule is given by the ratio.....

#(180.16*g*mol^-1)/(6.022xx10^23*mol^-1)=2.99xx10^-22*g#.

Anyway, over to you.....
