Find the molar mass, M, for cyclohexane: 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_12 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  C (carbon) | 6  H (hydrogen) | 12 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) | 6 | 12.011  H (hydrogen) | 12 | 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) | 6 | 12.011 | 6 × 12.011 = 72.066  H (hydrogen) | 12 | 1.008 | 12 × 1.008 = 12.096  M = 72.066 g/mol + 12.096 g/mol = 84.162 g/mol
