Answer;
Molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol
Explanation;
-Molar mass of a compound is determined by adding the relative atomic mass of each atom present in the compound. Molar mass of one mole of a compound, it is the weight in grams of 6.02 × 1023 atoms or molecules.
-Therefore; to calculate the molar mass of Water (H2O); we first know the RAM of hydrogen and oxygen which are; H=1.01 and O= 16.00
Since there is two atom of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen in water;
Then; the Molar mass of water will be; 2×1.01 + 1 ×16 = 18.02 g/mol
Intermolecular bonding:
Water is a polar molecule exhibit dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding
Salt is a polar molecule exhibit dispersion forces and dipole dipole bonding
Same bonding capacity therefore similar bonding capacity, therefore salt able to dissolves in water
