tetraoctylphosphonium bromide | molar mass
Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for tetraoctylphosphonium bromide: 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: [CH_3(CH_2)_7]_4P(Br) Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i Br (bromine) | 1 C (carbon) | 32 H (hydrogen) | 68 P (phosphorus) | 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) | 1 | 79.904 C (carbon) | 32 | 12.011 H (hydrogen) | 68 | 1.008 P (phosphorus) | 1 | 30.973761998 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) | 1 | 79.904 | 1 × 79.904 = 79.904 C (carbon) | 32 | 12.011 | 32 × 12.011 = 384.352 H (hydrogen) | 68 | 1.008 | 68 × 1.008 = 68.544 P (phosphorus) | 1 | 30.973761998 | 1 × 30.973761998 = 30.973761998 M = 79.904 g/mol + 384.352 g/mol + 68.544 g/mol + 30.973761998 g/mol = 563.774 g/mol](../image_source/f6c96a60513a1a1be66f95c50e7f5676.png)
