Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for indium(III) 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: InBr_3 Use the chemical formula, InBr_3, to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i Br (bromine) | 3 In (indium) | 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) | 3 | 79.904 In (indium) | 1 | 114.818 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) | 3 | 79.904 | 3 × 79.904 = 239.712 In (indium) | 1 | 114.818 | 1 × 114.818 = 114.818 M = 239.712 g/mol + 114.818 g/mol = 354.530 g/mol](../image_source/a7f514298fe1f2c3abea73ea5a149281.png)
