How are the molecular mass and molar mass of a compound similar and how are they different?
1 answer:
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 x 6.022140857 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
Molecular mass CH₄ = 16.05 g / mol

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the pH variation is analyzed via the Henderson-Hasselbach equation:
We can infer that the nearer to 1 the ratio of of the concentration of the base to the concentration of the acid the better the buffering capacity. In such a way, since the sodium acetate is acting as the base and the acetic acid as the acid, we have:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Therefore, the d. solution has the best buffering capacity.

Answer:
Explanation:
Since we are given the mass, specific heat, and temperature, we should use the following formula for heat energy.
The mass of the aluminum is 26.3 grams. Its specific heat is 0.930 Joules per gram degree Celsius. We need to find the change in temperature.
- The change in temperature is the difference between the initial temperature to the final temperature.
- The temperature changes <em>from</em> 23.0°C <em>to</em> 67.0°C, so the initial is 23 degrees and the final is 67 degrees.
- ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature
- ΔT= 67°C - 23°C
- ΔT= 44°C
Now we know all the values.
- m= 26.3 g
- c= 0.930 J/g °C
- ΔT= 44°C
Substitute the values into the formula.
Multiply the first two numbers together. The units of grams cancel.
Multiply again. This time, the units of degrees Celsius cancel.
<u>1076.196 Joules</u> of heat will be absorbed by the piece of aluminum.
