scandium antimonide | molar mass
Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for scandium antimonide: 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: ScSb Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i Sb (antimony) | 1 Sc (scandium) | 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) Sb (antimony) | 1 | 121.760 Sc (scandium) | 1 | 44.955908 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) Sb (antimony) | 1 | 121.760 | 1 × 121.760 = 121.760 Sc (scandium) | 1 | 44.955908 | 1 × 44.955908 = 44.955908 M = 121.760 g/mol + 44.955908 g/mol = 166.716 g/mol](../image_source/2f2edcbbeb30552d0459f205c877fd8a.png)
