Measured in units of “grams per mole” or g/mol
the FIRST step is the look up the molar mass of individual elements on the periodic table. The SECOND step is to multiple number of elements (subscript) times atomic mass The THIRD step is to add up all elements. molar mass = (atomic mass H)(subscript) + (atomic mass O)(subscript) molar mass = (1.008)(2) + (15.999)(1) = 18.015 g/mol
What is the molar mass of aluminum nitrate, Al(NO 3 ) 3? When the chemical formula contains parenthesis, distribute the subscript to all atoms within parenthesis. Al(NO 3 ) 3 = AlN 3 O 9 Al = 26.982 (1) N = 14.007 (3) O= 15.999 (9) Molar mass Al(NO 3 ) 3 = 26.982 (1) + 14.007 (3) +15.999 (9) = 212.994 g/mol
