Find the molar mass, M, for nickel(II) hydroxide: 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: Ni(OH)_2 Use the chemical formula, Ni(OH)_2, to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  H (hydrogen) | 2  Ni (nickel) | 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)  H (hydrogen) | 2 | 1.008  Ni (nickel) | 1 | 58.6934  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)  H (hydrogen) | 2 | 1.008 | 2 × 1.008 = 2.016  Ni (nickel) | 1 | 58.6934 | 1 × 58.6934 = 58.6934  O (oxygen) | 2 | 15.999 | 2 × 15.999 = 31.998  M = 2.016 g/mol + 58.6934 g/mol + 31.998 g/mol = 92.707 g/mol
