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

Calculate the molecular masses of H2, O2, Cl2, CO2, CH4, C2H6, C2H4, NH3, CH3OH.
A 0.24 g sample of compound of oxygen and boron was found by analysis to contain 0.096 g of boron and 0.144 g of oxygen. Calculate the percentage composition of the compound by weight.
Calculate the number of aluminium ions present in 0.051 g of aluminium oxide.
(Hint: The mass of an ion is the same as that of an atom of the same element. Atomic mass of Al = 27 u)
