Calculate the molar mass of the following substances.
(a) Ethyne, C2H2
(b) Sulphur molecule, S8
(c) Phosphorus molecule, P4 (Atomic mass of phosphorus = 31)
(d) Hydrochloric acid, HCl
(e) Nitric acid, HNO3
Molar mass: The mass of the mole of substance is known as molar mass.
Unit = gm/mol.
(a) C2H2 = H - C = C - H
= 2 x Atomic mass of C + 2 x Atomic mass of H
= 2 x 12 + 2 x 1
= 24 + 2 = 26 g
(b) S8 = 8 x atomic mass of sulphur.
= 8 x 32 = 256 g
(c) P4 = 4 x atomic mass of phosphorus
= 4 x 31 = 124 g
(d) HCl = 1 x atomic mass of H + 1 x atomic mass of Cl
= 1 x 1 + 1 x 35.5
= 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g
(e) HNO3 = 1 x atomic mass of H + 1 x atomic mass of N + 3 x atomic mass of O
= 1 x 1 + 1 x 14 + 3 x 16
= 1 + 14 + 48 = 63 g
Convert into mole.
(a) 12 g of oxygen gas
(b) 20 g of water
(c) 22 g of carbon dioxide.
In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
Write down the formulae of
(i) sodium oxide
(ii) aluminium chloride
(iii) sodium suphide
(iv) magnesium hydroxide
