Find the molar mass, M, for lithium bromide: 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: LiBr Use the chemical formula to count the number of atoms, N_i, for each element:  | N_i  Br (bromine) | 1  Li (lithium) | 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)  Br (bromine) | 1 | 79.904  Li (lithium) | 1 | 6.94 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)  Br (bromine) | 1 | 79.904 | 1 × 79.904 = 79.904  Li (lithium) | 1 | 6.94 | 1 × 6.94 = 6.94  M = 79.904 g/mol + 6.94 g/mol = 86.84 g/mol
