chromium selenide | molar mass
Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for chromium selenide: 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: CrSe Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i Cr (chromium) | 1 Se (selenium) | 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) Cr (chromium) | 1 | 51.9961 Se (selenium) | 1 | 78.971 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) Cr (chromium) | 1 | 51.9961 | 1 × 51.9961 = 51.9961 Se (selenium) | 1 | 78.971 | 1 × 78.971 = 78.971 M = 51.9961 g/mol + 78.971 g/mol = 130.967 g/mol](../image_source/5eaadbb43f90b06193137728edafbed3.png)
