Explanation:
Given problem:
Find the molar mass of:
SO₃ and C₁₀H₈
Solution:
The molar mass of a compound is the mass in grams of one mole of the substance.
To solve this, we are going to add the individual atomic masses of the elements in the compound;
Atomic mass;
S = 32g/mol; O = 16g/mol; C = 12g/mol and H = 1g/mol
For SO₃;
= 32 + 3(16)
= 32 + 48
= 80g/mol
For C₁₀H₈
= 10(12) + 8(1)
= 120 + 8
= 128g/mol
