What is the molar mass (in g/mol) of ? (H = 1, C = 12, N = 14, O = 16, Na = 23, S = 32, Ca = 40)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 98
- Step 1: To determine the molar mass of , sum the atomic masses of all constituent atoms in the chemical formula.
- Step 2: Substitute the standard atomic weights: 2(1) + 32 + 4(16) = 2 + 32 + 64 = 98\ \text{g/mol}.
- Step 3: The resulting sum yields a molar mass of 98\ \text{g/mol}.
Answer
98.
Why not the others: 100 is an arithmetic error adding 2 extra mass units; 96 forgets the 2 hydrogen atoms (); 196 doubles the molar mass.
