Find the molar mass, M, for zirconium(III) fluoride: 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: ZrF_3 Use the chemical formula, ZrF_3, to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  F (fluorine) | 3  Zr (zirconium) | 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)  F (fluorine) | 3 | 18.998403163  Zr (zirconium) | 1 | 91.224 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)  F (fluorine) | 3 | 18.998403163 | 3 × 18.998403163 = 56.995209489  Zr (zirconium) | 1 | 91.224 | 1 × 91.224 = 91.224  M = 56.995209489 g/mol + 91.224 g/mol = 148.219 g/mol
