Find the molar mass, M, for pyridine: 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_5H_5N Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  C (carbon) | 5  H (hydrogen) | 5  N (nitrogen) | 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)  C (carbon) | 5 | 12.011  H (hydrogen) | 5 | 1.008  N (nitrogen) | 1 | 14.007 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)  C (carbon) | 5 | 12.011 | 5 × 12.011 = 60.055  H (hydrogen) | 5 | 1.008 | 5 × 1.008 = 5.040  N (nitrogen) | 1 | 14.007 | 1 × 14.007 = 14.007  M = 60.055 g/mol + 5.040 g/mol + 14.007 g/mol = 79.102 g/mol
