Find the molar mass, M, for calcium fluoride: 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: CaF_2 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  Ca (calcium) | 1  F (fluorine) | 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)  Ca (calcium) | 1 | 40.078  F (fluorine) | 2 | 18.998403163 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)  Ca (calcium) | 1 | 40.078 | 1 × 40.078 = 40.078  F (fluorine) | 2 | 18.998403163 | 2 × 18.998403163 = 37.996806326  M = 40.078 g/mol + 37.996806326 g/mol = 78.075 g/mol
