5, 6, 11, 12-tetraphenylnaphthacene | molar mass
Result
Find the molar mass, M, for 5, 6, 11, 12-tetraphenylnaphthacene: 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_42H_28 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i C (carbon) | 42 H (hydrogen) | 28 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) | 42 | 12.011 H (hydrogen) | 28 | 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) C (carbon) | 42 | 12.011 | 42 × 12.011 = 504.462 H (hydrogen) | 28 | 1.008 | 28 × 1.008 = 28.224 M = 504.462 g/mol + 28.224 g/mol = 532.686 g/mol
