Find the molar mass, M, for potassium fluoride dihydrate: 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: FH_4KO_2 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  F (fluorine) | 1  H (hydrogen) | 4  K (potassium) | 1  O (oxygen) | 2 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)  F (fluorine) | 1 | 18.998403163  H (hydrogen) | 4 | 1.008  K (potassium) | 1 | 39.0983  O (oxygen) | 2 | 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)  F (fluorine) | 1 | 18.998403163 | 1 × 18.998403163 = 18.998403163  H (hydrogen) | 4 | 1.008 | 4 × 1.008 = 4.032  K (potassium) | 1 | 39.0983 | 1 × 39.0983 = 39.0983  O (oxygen) | 2 | 15.999 | 2 × 15.999 = 31.998  M = 18.998403163 g/mol + 4.032 g/mol + 39.0983 g/mol + 31.998 g/mol = 94.127 g/mol
