Find the molar mass, M, for lithium cobalt(III) oxide: 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: CoLiO_2 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  Co (cobalt) | 1  Li (lithium) | 1  O (oxygen) | 2 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)  Co (cobalt) | 1 | 58.933194  Li (lithium) | 1 | 6.94  O (oxygen) | 2 | 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)  Co (cobalt) | 1 | 58.933194 | 1 × 58.933194 = 58.933194  Li (lithium) | 1 | 6.94 | 1 × 6.94 = 6.94  O (oxygen) | 2 | 15.999 | 2 × 15.999 = 31.998  M = 58.933194 g/mol + 6.94 g/mol + 31.998 g/mol = 97.87 g/mol
