Sagot :

Answer:

386.66 g/mol  

Explanation:

To calculate the molar mass of a molecule, you add up the molar masses of its atoms.

Thus, for cholesterol. we get

27C = 27 × 12.011  =  324.297 g

46H = 46 ×   1.008 =    46.368

 1O =    1 × 15.999 =   15.999

                TOTAL = 386.655  g

To two decimal places, the molar mass of cholesterol is 386.66 g/mol
