antimony(III) chloride | molar mass
Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for antimony(III) 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: SbCl_3 Use the chemical formula, SbCl_3, to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i Cl (chlorine) | 3 Sb (antimony) | 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) Cl (chlorine) | 3 | 35.45 Sb (antimony) | 1 | 121.760 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) Cl (chlorine) | 3 | 35.45 | 3 × 35.45 = 106.35 Sb (antimony) | 1 | 121.760 | 1 × 121.760 = 121.760 M = 106.35 g/mol + 121.760 g/mol = 228.11 g/mol](../image_source/f98bf82364322a31e1dd79d43fd26e7f.png)
