tetrabromophenolphthalein ethyl ester | molar mass
Result
Find the molar mass, M, for tetrabromophenolphthalein ethyl ester: M = sum _iN_im_i Plan: • Write the chemical formula and gather atomic masses from the periodic table. • Determine values for N_i and m_i using these items. • Finally, compute the mass. Write the chemical formula: C_22H_14Br_4O_4 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i Br (bromine) | 4 C (carbon) | 22 H (hydrogen) | 14 O (oxygen) | 4 Look up the atomic mass, m_i, in g·mol^(-1) for each element in the periodic table: | N_i | m_i/g·mol^(-1) Br (bromine) | 4 | 79.904 C (carbon) | 22 | 12.011 H (hydrogen) | 14 | 1.008 O (oxygen) | 4 | 15.999 Multiply N_i by m_i to compute the mass for each element. Then sum those values to compute the molar mass, M: Answer: | | | N_i | m_i/g·mol^(-1) | mass/g·mol^(-1) Br (bromine) | 4 | 79.904 | 4 × 79.904 = 319.616 C (carbon) | 22 | 12.011 | 22 × 12.011 = 264.242 H (hydrogen) | 14 | 1.008 | 14 × 1.008 = 14.112 O (oxygen) | 4 | 15.999 | 4 × 15.999 = 63.996 M = 319.616 g/mol + 264.242 g/mol + 14.112 g/mol + 63.996 g/mol = 661.966 g/mol
