lead(II) hydroxide | molar mass
Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for lead(II) hydroxide: 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: Pb(OH)_2 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i H (hydrogen) | 2 O (oxygen) | 2 Pb (lead) | 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) H (hydrogen) | 2 | 1.008 O (oxygen) | 2 | 15.999 Pb (lead) | 1 | 207.2 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) H (hydrogen) | 2 | 1.008 | 2 × 1.008 = 2.016 O (oxygen) | 2 | 15.999 | 2 × 15.999 = 31.998 Pb (lead) | 1 | 207.2 | 1 × 207.2 = 207.2 M = 2.016 g/mol + 31.998 g/mol + 207.2 g/mol = 241.2 g/mol](../image_source/c02ddb5d09dc2116c4e33676c968519d.png)
