Question

Calculate the molar mass of each of the following:

Answer 1

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.
