potassium chlorochromate | molar mass
Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for potassium chlorochromate: 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: ClCrKO_3 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i Cl (chlorine) | 1 Cr (chromium) | 1 K (potassium) | 1 O (oxygen) | 3 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) Cl (chlorine) | 1 | 35.45 Cr (chromium) | 1 | 51.9961 K (potassium) | 1 | 39.0983 O (oxygen) | 3 | 15.999 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) Cl (chlorine) | 1 | 35.45 | 1 × 35.45 = 35.45 Cr (chromium) | 1 | 51.9961 | 1 × 51.9961 = 51.9961 K (potassium) | 1 | 39.0983 | 1 × 39.0983 = 39.0983 O (oxygen) | 3 | 15.999 | 3 × 15.999 = 47.997 M = 35.45 g/mol + 51.9961 g/mol + 39.0983 g/mol + 47.997 g/mol = 174.54 g/mol](../image_source/2d2b067ae66cd5fe41bb955f230cc072.png)
