chromium(II) oxalate | molar mass
Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for chromium(II) oxalate: 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: CrC_2O_4 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i C (carbon) | 2 Cr (chromium) | 1 O (oxygen) | 4 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) | 2 | 12.011 Cr (chromium) | 1 | 51.9961 O (oxygen) | 4 | 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) | 2 | 12.011 | 2 × 12.011 = 24.022 Cr (chromium) | 1 | 51.9961 | 1 × 51.9961 = 51.9961 O (oxygen) | 4 | 15.999 | 4 × 15.999 = 63.996 M = 24.022 g/mol + 51.9961 g/mol + 63.996 g/mol = 140.014 g/mol](../image_source/a6aee7968933890473f331c9d58a8754.png)
