chloramine t | molar mass
Result
Find the molar mass, M, for chloramine t: 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: CH_3C_6H_4SO_2NClNa Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i C (carbon) | 7 Cl (chlorine) | 1 H (hydrogen) | 7 N (nitrogen) | 1 Na (sodium) | 1 O (oxygen) | 2 S (sulfur) | 1 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) | 7 | 12.011 Cl (chlorine) | 1 | 35.45 H (hydrogen) | 7 | 1.008 N (nitrogen) | 1 | 14.007 Na (sodium) | 1 | 22.98976928 O (oxygen) | 2 | 15.999 S (sulfur) | 1 | 32.06 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) | 7 | 12.011 | 7 × 12.011 = 84.077 Cl (chlorine) | 1 | 35.45 | 1 × 35.45 = 35.45 H (hydrogen) | 7 | 1.008 | 7 × 1.008 = 7.056 N (nitrogen) | 1 | 14.007 | 1 × 14.007 = 14.007 Na (sodium) | 1 | 22.98976928 | 1 × 22.98976928 = 22.98976928 O (oxygen) | 2 | 15.999 | 2 × 15.999 = 31.998 S (sulfur) | 1 | 32.06 | 1 × 32.06 = 32.06 M = 84.077 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol + 7.056 g/mol + 14.007 g/mol + 22.98976928 g/mol + 31.998 g/mol + 32.06 g/mol = 227.64 g/mol
