The molecular weight of Isosaccharinic acid (C₆H₁₂O₆) is 180.1566.

Isosaccharinic acid (C6H12O6) is an organic compound of three elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. The molecular weight of Isosaccharinic acid is 180.1566 which can be calculated by adding up the total weight (atomic weight multiplied by their number) of all its elements.

CALCULATION PROCEDURE: Isosaccharinic acid (C₆H₁₂O₆) Molecular Weight Calculation

Step 1: Find out the chemical formula and determine constituent atoms and their number in an Isosaccharinic acid molecule.
From the chemical formula, you will know different atoms and their number in an Isosaccharinic acid molecule. The chemical formula of Isosaccharinic acid is C₆H₁₂O₆. From the chemical formula, you can find that one molecule of Isosaccharinic acid consists of six Carbon (C) atoms, twelve Hydrogen (H) atoms, and six Oxygen (O) atoms.

Step 2: Find out atomic weights of each atom (from periodic table).

Atomic weight of Carbon (C): 12.0107 (Ref: Jlab-ele006)
Atomic weight of Hydrogen (H): 1.008 (Ref: Lanl-1)
Atomic weight of Oxygen (O): 15.9994 (Ref: Jlab-ele008)

Step 3: Calculate the total weight of each atom in an Isosaccharinic acid molecule by multiplying its atomic weight by its number.

Number of Carbon atoms in Isosaccharinic acid: 6
Atomic weight of Carbon: 12.0107
Total weight of Carbon atoms in Isosaccharinic acid: 12.0107 x 6 = 72.0642

Number of Hydrogen atoms in Isosaccharinic acid: 12
Atomic weight of Hydrogen: 1.008
Total weight of Hydrogen atoms in Isosaccharinic acid: 1.008 x 12 = 12.096

Number of Oxygen atoms in Isosaccharinic acid: 6
Atomic weight of Oxygen: 15.9994
Total weight of Oxygen atoms in Isosaccharinic acid: 15.9994 x 6 = 95.9964

Step 4: Calculate the molecular weight of Isosaccharinic acid by adding up the total weight of all atoms.

Molecular weight of Isosaccharinic acid: 72.0642 (Carbon) + 12.096 (Hydrogen) + 95.9964 (Oxygen) = 180.1566

So the molecular weight of Isosaccharinic acid is 180.1566.
