triphenylethylene | molar mass
Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for triphenylethylene: 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_6H_5CH=C(C_6H_5)_2 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i C (carbon) | 20 H (hydrogen) | 16 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) C (carbon) | 20 | 12.011 H (hydrogen) | 16 | 1.008 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) C (carbon) | 20 | 12.011 | 20 × 12.011 = 240.220 H (hydrogen) | 16 | 1.008 | 16 × 1.008 = 16.128 M = 240.220 g/mol + 16.128 g/mol = 256.348 g/mol](../image_source/e0837b5e44be29f4efa1065940e035ca.png)
