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

Iodine, I2(s), is more soluble in dichloromethane, CH2Cl2(l), than water because:
Georgia [21]

Answer:

A. the intermolecular forces are similar in both dichloromethane and iodine.

Explanation:

Solubility is determined by the principle , "like dissolves like" .

i.e. , if a compound is polar then it will dissolve in a polar compound only , and

if a compound is non - polar then it will dissolve in a non - polar compound only .

As,

Non polar compounds , have similar interaction , and hence gets dissolved , and similarly ,

polar compounds have similar dipole - dipole interaction , and hence gets dissolved .

From the question ,

Iodine, I₂(s), is more soluble in dichloromethane, CH₂Cl₂(l) , as both are non - polar in nature and hence due to similar interaction , are soluble .

Water is polar in nature and therefore less soluble in Iodine, I₂(s) .
