Find the molar mass, M, for erbium bromide hexahydrate: 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: ErBr_3·6H_2O Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  Br (bromine) | 3  Er (erbium) | 1  H (hydrogen) | 12  O (oxygen) | 6 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)  Br (bromine) | 3 | 79.904  Er (erbium) | 1 | 167.259  H (hydrogen) | 12 | 1.008  O (oxygen) | 6 | 15.999 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)  Br (bromine) | 3 | 79.904 | 3 × 79.904 = 239.712  Er (erbium) | 1 | 167.259 | 1 × 167.259 = 167.259  H (hydrogen) | 12 | 1.008 | 12 × 1.008 = 12.096  O (oxygen) | 6 | 15.999 | 6 × 15.999 = 95.994  M = 239.712 g/mol + 167.259 g/mol + 12.096 g/mol + 95.994 g/mol = 515.061 g/mol
