Let's solve each of these molar mass problems step by step. The
molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). We calculate it by summing the atomic masses of all atoms in the compound using the periodic table.
We'll use standard atomic masses (rounded to two decimal places):
- H = 1.01 g/mol
- C = 12.01 g/mol
- N = 14.01 g/mol
- O = 16.00 g/mol
- F = 19.00 g/mol
- Na = 22.99 g/mol
- Mg = 24.31 g/mol
- Al = 26.98 g/mol
- P = 30.97 g/mol
- S = 32.07 g/mol
- Cl = 35.45 g/mol
- K = 39.10 g/mol
- Ca = 40.08 g/mol
- Cr = 52.00 g/mol
- Mn = 54.94 g/mol
- Fe = 55.85 g/mol
- Co = 58.93 g/mol
- Ni = 58.69 g/mol
- Cu = 63.55 g/mol
- Zn = 65.38 g/mol
- Br = 79.90 g/mol
- Rb = 85.47 g/mol
- Sr = 87.62 g/mol
- Ag = 107.87 g/mol
- Cd = 112.41 g/mol
- I = 126.90 g/mol
- Pb = 207.2 g/mol

9) Zn(C₂H₃O₂)₂
This is zinc acetate.
- Zn: 65.38 g/mol
- C₄: 4 × 12.01 = 48.04 g/mol
- H₆: 6 × 1.01 = 6.06 g/mol
- O₄: 4 × 16.00 = 64.00 g/mol
Molar mass = 65.38 + 48.04 + 6.06 + 64.00 = 183.48 g/mol
