toluene | molar mass
Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for toluene: 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: C_6H_5CH_3 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i C (carbon) | 7 H (hydrogen) | 8 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) | 7 | 12.011 H (hydrogen) | 8 | 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) C (carbon) | 7 | 12.011 | 7 × 12.011 = 84.077 H (hydrogen) | 8 | 1.008 | 8 × 1.008 = 8.064 M = 84.077 g/mol + 8.064 g/mol = 92.141 g/mol](../image_source/9a636ffdd5dad35c513c7cde7cc109b7.png)
