How are the molecular mass and molar mass of a compound similar and how are they different?

Chemistry

Answer:

Similarities: both state the mass of chemical species and they have the same numerical value

Differences: molecular mass refers to one single molecule and molar mass refers to one mole of a molecule

Explanation:

The molecular mass is the value of the mass of each molecule and it is measured in mass units (u). It is calculated adding the mass of each atom of the molecule.

The molar mass is the value of the mass of one mole of molecules, which means the mass of 6.022140857 × 10²³ molecules. The unit is g/mol.

For example, we can consider the methane molecule, which has the chemical formula of CH₄:

Molecular mass CH₄ = C mass + 4 x (H mass)

Molecular mass CH₄ = 12.01 + 4 x (1.01)

Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 u

Now to calculate the molar mass we multiply the value of the molecular mass by the Avogadro number and convert the units to g/mol:

Molar mass CH₄: 16.05 x \frac{1}{6.022140857 x 10x^{23} } g x 6.022140857 × 10²³ mol⁻¹

Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 g / mol

Shred red cabbage ~ (3/4 of a very small head)

Put the cabbage pieces in a small container ~ ( you can use a Pyrex-4-cup measure, a bowl or even a plastic zipper bag)

Cover the cabbage with very hot water. Let it sleep until the water has cooled. (somewhere between lukewarm and room-temperature) 

The purple liquid you've made is your indicator. 
Pour it into a container and compost the cabbage.

Now look for substances that may be acids or bases. 
Liquids are good, like fruits. 

You can also use solids around for baking are good too. (such as baking soda, salt, sugar, cream of tartar...)

Get containers for mixing (such as tea cups, because they are small, shallow and white inside)

Pour the indicator into the tea cups and add an acid or base.

Lemon juice, rice wine vinegar, and apple cider vinegar, turn the cabbage-water indicator into a pink.

Orange juice or fresh oranges (same thing) turn the cabbage-water indicator into an orangish-pinkish color. 

Baking soda turns the cabbage-water indicator blue.

Milk (non-fat) turns the cabbage-water indicator turn opaque and milky, yet purple.

An egg white (which won't get into the solution immediately until after a lot of stirring) turns the cabbage-water indicator blue.

Hint:
Bases mostly turn the indicator towards blue-ish colors such as purple, light blue, dark blue, opaque blue...

Acids mostly turn the indicator towards pink-ish colours such as orange-ish pink, floral pink...

(You'll have to keep on testing the cabbage-water indicator in after a day or two to see if the indicator quality persists or degrades.

What is the mass of 8.12 × 10^23 molecules of CO2 gas? (Atomic mass of carbon = 12.011 u; oxygen = 15.999 u.)
amid [387]

Answer:

m=59.3gCO_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the first step is to compute the molar mass of carbon dioxide as shown below, considering it has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms:

M=12.011g/mol+2*15.999g/mol\\\\M=44.009g/mol

It is important to notice it is the mass in one mole of such compound. Afterwards, we need to use the Avogadro's number to compute the how many moles are in the given molecules of carbon dioxide as shown below:

mol=8.12x10^{23}molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} =1.35mol

Finally, the mass by using the molar mass:

m=1.35mol*\frac{44.009g}{1mol} \\\\m=59.3gCO_2

Best regards.

How do we find the number of electrons in an atom?
Anon25 [30]

I Believe this is the right answer:

Get a periodic table of elements. ...

Find your element on the periodic table. ...

Locate the element's atomic number. ...

Determine the number of electrons. ...

Look for the atomic mass of the element. ...

Subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

Hoped this helped!

Cracking the periodic table code why aren't the elements listed in alphabetical order answer key
finlep [7]

The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.


For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.


You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.


You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.


So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
