The structure appears to have 8 chiral carbons.
Eugenol is not chiral because it contains no assymmetric carbons. (carbons with 4 different groups attached to it)
Ribose, CHO(CHOH)3CH2OH, is an aldopentose with three chiral carbon atoms . .............H O ...............\ // ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ..........H -- C -- OH .................| ................H
If a carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with four different atoms or groups, the particular carbon is said to be chiral. And the molecule shows stereoisomerism around that atom.

There are three (3) chiral carbons in monosodium glutamate (C5H8NO4Na), namely the two carbons on either end, alpha and epsilon, and amino-carbon, beta.
The same way you calculate the molecular mass of any compound. Alternatively, if you know the mass of one isomer, you don't need to do any calculations. All isomers having the same formula have the same mass.
If a carbon atom forms four covalent bonds with four different atoms or groups, the particular carbon is said to be chiral. And the molecule shows stereoisomerism around that atom.
