Find the molar mass, M, for L-serine: 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_3H_7NO_3 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  C (carbon) | 3  H (hydrogen) | 7  N (nitrogen) | 1  O (oxygen) | 3 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) | 3 | 12.011  H (hydrogen) | 7 | 1.008  N (nitrogen) | 1 | 14.007  O (oxygen) | 3 | 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) | 3 | 12.011 | 3 × 12.011 = 36.033  H (hydrogen) | 7 | 1.008 | 7 × 1.008 = 7.056  N (nitrogen) | 1 | 14.007 | 1 × 14.007 = 14.007  O (oxygen) | 3 | 15.999 | 3 × 15.999 = 47.997  M = 36.033 g/mol + 7.056 g/mol + 14.007 g/mol + 47.997 g/mol = 105.093 g/mol
