miconazole | molar mass
Result
Find the molar mass, M, for miconazole: 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_18H_14Cl_4N_2O Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i C (carbon) | 18 Cl (chlorine) | 4 H (hydrogen) | 14 N (nitrogen) | 2 O (oxygen) | 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) | 18 | 12.011 Cl (chlorine) | 4 | 35.45 H (hydrogen) | 14 | 1.008 N (nitrogen) | 2 | 14.007 O (oxygen) | 1 | 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) C (carbon) | 18 | 12.011 | 18 × 12.011 = 216.198 Cl (chlorine) | 4 | 35.45 | 4 × 35.45 = 141.80 H (hydrogen) | 14 | 1.008 | 14 × 1.008 = 14.112 N (nitrogen) | 2 | 14.007 | 2 × 14.007 = 28.014 O (oxygen) | 1 | 15.999 | 1 × 15.999 = 15.999 M = 216.198 g/mol + 141.80 g/mol + 14.112 g/mol + 28.014 g/mol + 15.999 g/mol = 416.12 g/mol
