2, 2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane | molar mass
Result
Find the molar mass, M, for 2, 2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane: 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: C_15H_10F_6O_2 Use the chemical formula, C_15H_10F_6O_2, to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i O (oxygen) | 2 C (carbon) | 15 F (fluorine) | 6 H (hydrogen) | 10 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) O (oxygen) | 2 | 15.999 C (carbon) | 15 | 12.011 F (fluorine) | 6 | 18.998403163 H (hydrogen) | 10 | 1.008 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) O (oxygen) | 2 | 15.999 | 2 × 15.999 = 31.998 C (carbon) | 15 | 12.011 | 15 × 12.011 = 180.165 F (fluorine) | 6 | 18.998403163 | 6 × 18.998403163 = 113.990418978 H (hydrogen) | 10 | 1.008 | 10 × 1.008 = 10.080 M = 31.998 g/mol + 180.165 g/mol + 113.990418978 g/mol + 10.080 g/mol = 336.233 g/mol
