Find the relative formula mass of CHOH. (H = 1, C = 12, N = 14, O = 16, Na = 23, Mg = 24, Al = 27, S = 32, Cl = 35.5, K = 39, Ca = 40, Fe = 56, Cu = 63.5, Zn = 65, Ag = 108)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 46
- Step 1: Add the relative atomic masses, taking each atom as many times as its subscript shows: 2 × 12 (C) + 6 × 1 (H) + 1 × 16 (O).
- Step 2: Total .
Answer
46.
Why not the others: 29: the subscripts are ignored. 62: an extra oxygen atom is counted.
