Find the molecular mass, m, for mercuric chloride: 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: HgCl_2 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  Cl (chlorine) | 2  Hg (mercury) | 1 Look up the atomic mass, m_i, in unified atomic mass units, u, for each element in the periodic table:  | N_i | m_i/u  Cl (chlorine) | 2 | 35.45  Hg (mercury) | 1 | 200.592 Multiply N_i by m_i to compute the mass for each element. Then sum those values to compute the molecular mass, m: Answer: |   | | N_i | m_i/u | mass/u  Cl (chlorine) | 2 | 35.45 | 2 × 35.45 = 70.90  Hg (mercury) | 1 | 200.592 | 1 × 200.592 = 200.592  m = 70.90 u + 200.592 u = 271.49 u
