Result
![Find the molar mass, M, for stearoyl chloride: 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: CH_3(CH_2)_16COCl Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element: | N_i C (carbon) | 18 Cl (chlorine) | 1 H (hydrogen) | 35 O (oxygen) | 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) C (carbon) | 18 | 12.011 Cl (chlorine) | 1 | 35.45 H (hydrogen) | 35 | 1.008 O (oxygen) | 1 | 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) C (carbon) | 18 | 12.011 | 18 × 12.011 = 216.198 Cl (chlorine) | 1 | 35.45 | 1 × 35.45 = 35.45 H (hydrogen) | 35 | 1.008 | 35 × 1.008 = 35.280 O (oxygen) | 1 | 15.999 | 1 × 15.999 = 15.999 M = 216.198 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol + 35.280 g/mol + 15.999 g/mol = 302.93 g/mol](../image_source/d3376ebb23298f63a213bf931ff6b4a5.png)
