tellurium tetrabromide | molar mass
Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for tellurium tetrabromide: 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: TeBr_4 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i Br (bromine) | 4 Te (tellurium) | 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) Br (bromine) | 4 | 79.904 Te (tellurium) | 1 | 127.60 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 Te (tellurium) | 1 | 127.60 | 1 × 127.60 = 127.60 M = 319.616 g/mol + 127.60 g/mol = 447.22 g/mol](../image_source/6af4b3a8d9e1c5f3a517482535670f46.png)
