2, 5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol | molar mass
Result
Find the molar mass, M, for 2, 5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl alcohol: 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: (CF_3)_2C_6H_3CH_2OH Use the chemical formula, (CF_3)_2C_6H_3CH_2OH, to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i C (carbon) | 9 F (fluorine) | 6 H (hydrogen) | 6 O (oxygen) | 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) C (carbon) | 9 | 12.011 F (fluorine) | 6 | 18.998403163 H (hydrogen) | 6 | 1.008 O (oxygen) | 1 | 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) C (carbon) | 9 | 12.011 | 9 × 12.011 = 108.099 F (fluorine) | 6 | 18.998403163 | 6 × 18.998403163 = 113.990418978 H (hydrogen) | 6 | 1.008 | 6 × 1.008 = 6.048 O (oxygen) | 1 | 15.999 | 1 × 15.999 = 15.999 M = 108.099 g/mol + 113.990418978 g/mol + 6.048 g/mol + 15.999 g/mol = 244.136 g/mol
