Find the molar mass, M, for zinc iodide: 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: ZnI_2 Use the chemical formula, ZnI_2, to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  I (iodine) | 2  Zn (zinc) | 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)  I (iodine) | 2 | 126.90447  Zn (zinc) | 1 | 65.38 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)  I (iodine) | 2 | 126.90447 | 2 × 126.90447 = 253.80894  Zn (zinc) | 1 | 65.38 | 1 × 65.38 = 65.38  M = 253.80894 g/mol + 65.38 g/mol = 319.19 g/mol
