Mass can’t be destroyed. So since not all the mass was found in the products, that simply means that it was lost to the environment. For example, let’s say hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants and we get water in the product. Now that oxygen could have reacted with something else that we didn’t take into account when measuring the mass of the H2O released.

Tldr, some of the reactants were lost to the surroundings

Calculate the molar mass of each of the following:
Allushta [10]

Explanation:

Molar mass

The mass present in one mole of a specific species .

The molar mass of a compound , can easily be calculated as the sum of the all the individual atom multiplied by the number of total atoms .

(a) S₈

Molar mass of of the atoms are -

sulfur, S = 32 g/mol.

Molar mass of  S₈ = 8 * 32 g/mol.  = 256 g/mol.

(b) C₂H₁₂

Molar mass of of the atoms are -

Hydrogen , H = 1 g/mol

Carbon , C = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of C₂H₁₂ = ( 2 * 12 ) + (12 * 1 ) = 36 g /mol

(c) Sc₂(SO₄)₃

Molar mass of of the atoms are -

sulfur, S = 32 g/mol.

oxygen , O = 16 g/mol.

scandium , Sc = 45 g/mol.

Molar mass of Sc₂(SO₄)₃ = (2 * 45 ) + ( 3 *32 ) + ( 12 * 16 ) = 378 g /mol  

(d) CH₃COCH₃ (acetone)

Molar mass of of the atoms are -

Carbon , C = 12 g/mol

oxygen , O = 16 g/mol.

Hydrogen , H = 1 g/mol

Molar mass of CH₃COCH₃ (acetone) = (3 * 12 ) + ( 1 * 16 ) + ( 6 * 1 ) = 58g/mol

(e) C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose)

Molar mass of of the atoms are -

Carbon , C = 12 g/mol

oxygen , O = 16 g/mol.

Hydrogen , H = 1 g/mol

Molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) = ( 6 * 12 ) + ( 12 * 1 ) + ( 6 * 16 ) = 108g/mol.
