Find the molar mass, M, for iron(II) oxalate dihydrate: 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: Fe(C_2O_4)·2H_2O Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  C (carbon) | 2  Fe (iron) | 1  H (hydrogen) | 6  O (oxygen) | 6 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) | 2 | 12.011  Fe (iron) | 1 | 55.845  H (hydrogen) | 6 | 1.008  O (oxygen) | 6 | 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)  C (carbon) | 2 | 12.011 | 2 × 12.011 = 24.022  Fe (iron) | 1 | 55.845 | 1 × 55.845 = 55.845  H (hydrogen) | 6 | 1.008 | 6 × 1.008 = 6.048  O (oxygen) | 6 | 15.999 | 6 × 15.999 = 95.994  M = 24.022 g/mol + 55.845 g/mol + 6.048 g/mol + 95.994 g/mol = 181.909 g/mol
