Input interpretation
2-butene, 1-bromo-, (2E)- | molar mass
Result
Find the molar mass, M, for 2-butene, 1-bromo-, (2E)-: 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: CH_3CH=CHCH_2Br Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i Br (bromine) | 1 C (carbon) | 4 H (hydrogen) | 7 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) | 1 | 79.904 C (carbon) | 4 | 12.011 H (hydrogen) | 7 | 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) Br (bromine) | 1 | 79.904 | 1 × 79.904 = 79.904 C (carbon) | 4 | 12.011 | 4 × 12.011 = 48.044 H (hydrogen) | 7 | 1.008 | 7 × 1.008 = 7.056 M = 79.904 g/mol + 48.044 g/mol + 7.056 g/mol = 135.004 g/mol
