4-phenylbenzyl chloride | molar mass
Result
Find the molar mass, M, for 4-phenylbenzyl chloride: 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_5C_6H_4CH_2Cl Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i C (carbon) | 13 Cl (chlorine) | 1 H (hydrogen) | 11 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) | 13 | 12.011 Cl (chlorine) | 1 | 35.45 H (hydrogen) | 11 | 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) | 13 | 12.011 | 13 × 12.011 = 156.143 Cl (chlorine) | 1 | 35.45 | 1 × 35.45 = 35.45 H (hydrogen) | 11 | 1.008 | 11 × 1.008 = 11.088 M = 156.143 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol + 11.088 g/mol = 202.68 g/mol
