How many microns are in a grain of sugar?

Answer 1

There are many different types of sugar, but I will presume you mean glucose, C6H12O6. Glucose has a molecular mass of 180 g/mol.

12 g . 1 mol . 6.02 x 1023 molecules = 4.01 x 1022 molecules of glucose.

180g 1 mol

Answer 2

This was a question in a AS Physics text book. The answer is 1x10^15m (1 times 10 to the power of 15 meters)

EDIT:

The volume of a grain of sugar is not one quadrillion meters as suggested above.

It is more closely approximated as 1.6x10^-11 m^3

(16 cubic picometers)

Answer 3

It all depends on the size of the grain of sugar. Since the grain of sugar is three dimensional, one has to take this into account. This is more an engineering question, but I had time to check out some figures through the Engineeringtoolbox website. A micron is one millionth of a meter. There are 54400 microns in an inch. A guestament would be between 40 and 4000 micron. Check out engineertoolbox for more scientific assistance.

Answer 4

A micron is a measure of length, whereas a grain is a measure of weight.
Your question is like asking " how many inches is a pound of potatoes "
There is no logical answer to this.

Answer 5

a single grain of sugar contains about 1 800 000 000 000 000 000 sugar particles hope dis helps

Answer 6

the mass of granulated is hard to find you will have to find the base first

Answer 7

It can vary greatly from few hundred to few thousand

Answer 8

40 000 000 molecules

Answer 9

about 50 sugar grams.

Answer 10

50000000
