![]() ![]() Now we interpret the coefficients as referring to molar amounts, not individual molecules. We can leave out the word mol and not write the 1 coefficient (as is our habit), so the final form of the equation, still balanced, is But 6.022 × 10 23 is 1 mol, while 12.044 × 10 23 is 2 mol (and the number is written that way to make this more obvious), so we can simplify this version of the equation by writing it as ![]() These coefficients also have the ratio 2:1:2 (check it and see), so this equation is balanced. M = 58.7 + 2 x 35.5 + 6 x 18.0 = 237.7 g/molĬalculating the molar mass is essential as it lays the foundation for most of the calculations in stoichiometry such as the mass, moles, number of particles and etc.\ H_2O \nonumber \] Now, let me recall to you the atomic mass of lithium, sodium and potassium. The main thing I want to tell you is that he arranged these elements in the increasing order of their ATOMIC MASS. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). M (NiCl 2♶H 2O) = M (Ni) + 2 M (Cl) + 6 M (H 2O) Calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr) and Barium (Ba) in other triad and, Chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I) in other triad. Its a periodic table with names, element symbols, atomic numbers, atomic weights, and groups. According to the periodic table, 1 mol of U has a mass of 238.0 g, so the mass of 2 mol is twice that, or 476.0 g. He formula of the hydrate is NiCl 2♶H 2O, and therefore, the molar mass would be: The periodic table shows that the atomic mass (rounded to two decimal points) of Al is 26.98, so 1 mol of Al atoms has a mass of 26.98 g. ![]() To calculate the molar mass of a hydrate, determine the molar mass of the salt and add to the molar mass of the water multiplied by its subscript.įor example, calculate the molar mass of nickel (II) chloride hexahydrate. The formula of nitrate ion is NO 3 –, therefore, the molar mass would be: It is a result of either losing or gaining an electron(s) which has negligible mass compared to atoms and molecules.įor example, what is the molar mass of the nitrate ion? Remember, the number outside of parenthesis applies to all the elements in it. Next, we write the ions next to each other and add the correct subscripts:Īnd now, we multiply the molar mass of each element by its subscript. You need to know the common polyatomic ions from where we find that sulfate is the SO 4 2- ion. M (PCl 5) = 30.1 + 5 x 35.5 = 207.6 g/molĪnother example: what is the molar mass of aluminum sulfate?įirst, we know that the aluminum ion has a 3+ charge. To calculate the molar mass of PCl 5, we multiply the molar mass of each element by its subscript: Go over naming covalent compounds to refresh some of the concepts here. The given mass of K (4.7 g) is a bit more than one-tenth the molar mass (39.10 g), so a reasonable ballpark estimate of the number of moles would be slightly greater than 0.1 mol. The formula of phosphorous pentachloride is PCl5. Referring to the periodic table, the atomic mass of K is 39.10 amu, and so its molar mass is 39.10 g/mol. If the formula of the molecule is not given, you will need to first determine it.įor example, determine the molar mass of phosphorous pentachloride. To calculate the molar mass of a molecule, we add the molar mass of each constituent atom by the corresponding subscript.įor example, the molar mass of water would be: Usually, we round off the molar mass to 1 or 2 decimal places, so for P, we’d use 123.9 or 123.90 for its molar mass. For example, to find the molar of P 4, we multiply 30.974 g/mol by 4: ![]() If there is a subscript in the symbol, then you need to multiply the molar mass by that number. And we can do this for all the elements in the periodic table. For potassium then, it is 39.098 g/mol which means one mole of potassium atoms weighs 39.098 g. What’s important for today’s topic is that numerically, the molar mass is equal to the average atomic mass of the given atom, so we can look it up in the periodic table. The smaller one is the atomic number which shows the number of protons, and the larger one is the average atomic mass: So, how do we find the molar mass in the periodic table?įor example, there are two numbers given for potassium in the periodic table: 19 and 39.098. To calculate the molar mass of an atom or a molecule, we are always going to need a periodic table. The mass of one mole of atoms/molecules/ions is called its molar mass ( M) expressed in g/mol. ![]()
