Find the relative molecular mass, M_r, for barium titanate: M_r = sum _iN_im_i/m_u 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: BaTiO_3 Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  Ba (barium) | 1  O (oxygen) | 3  Ti (titanium) | 1 Look up the atomic mass, m_i, in unified atomic mass units, u, for each element in the periodic table. Since m_i is divided by the atomic mass constant, m_u, the result is a unitless relative atomic mass:  | N_i | m_i/m_u  Ba (barium) | 1 | 137.327  O (oxygen) | 3 | 15.999  Ti (titanium) | 1 | 47.867 Multiply N_i by m_i/m_u to compute the relative mass for each element. Then sum those values to compute the relative molecular mass, M_r: Answer: |   | | N_i | m_i/m_u | relative mass  Ba (barium) | 1 | 137.327 | 1 × 137.327 = 137.327  O (oxygen) | 3 | 15.999 | 3 × 15.999 = 47.997  Ti (titanium) | 1 | 47.867 | 1 × 47.867 = 47.867  M_r = 137.327 + 47.997 + 47.867 = 233.191
