(1, 3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)magnesium bromide | molar mass
Result
Find the molar mass, M, for (1, 3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl)magnesium bromide: 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_4H_7BrMgO_2 Use the chemical formula, C_4H_7BrMgO_2, to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i O (oxygen) | 2 C (carbon) | 4 Mg (magnesium) | 1 Br (bromine) | 1 H (hydrogen) | 7 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) O (oxygen) | 2 | 15.999 C (carbon) | 4 | 12.011 Mg (magnesium) | 1 | 24.305 Br (bromine) | 1 | 79.904 H (hydrogen) | 7 | 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) O (oxygen) | 2 | 15.999 | 2 × 15.999 = 31.998 C (carbon) | 4 | 12.011 | 4 × 12.011 = 48.044 Mg (magnesium) | 1 | 24.305 | 1 × 24.305 = 24.305 Br (bromine) | 1 | 79.904 | 1 × 79.904 = 79.904 H (hydrogen) | 7 | 1.008 | 7 × 1.008 = 7.056 M = 31.998 g/mol + 48.044 g/mol + 24.305 g/mol + 79.904 g/mol + 7.056 g/mol = 191.307 g/mol
