Find the molar mass, M, for copper(II) silicate dihydrate: 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: CuSiO_3·2H_2O Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  Cu (copper) | 2  H (hydrogen) | 4  O (oxygen) | 6  Si (silicon) | 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)  Cu (copper) | 2 | 63.546  H (hydrogen) | 4 | 1.008  O (oxygen) | 6 | 15.999  Si (silicon) | 1 | 28.085 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)  Cu (copper) | 2 | 63.546 | 2 × 63.546 = 127.092  H (hydrogen) | 4 | 1.008 | 4 × 1.008 = 4.032  O (oxygen) | 6 | 15.999 | 6 × 15.999 = 95.994  Si (silicon) | 1 | 28.085 | 1 × 28.085 = 28.085  M = 127.092 g/mol + 4.032 g/mol + 95.994 g/mol + 28.085 g/mol = 255.203 g/mol
