Lab: Mole Detectives

1. Write the name or formula for each of the following compounds:

a) Tin ________Sn____________________
b) Ca(OH)2 ______calcium hydroxide
c) Sodium acetate _____NaC2H3O2Na_______________________
d) Zn _________Zinc___________________
e) Copper (II) sulfate _______CuSO4_____________________
f) Potassium phosphate ______ K3PO4______________________
g) Fe ___________Iron_________________
h) NaNO3 __________sodium nitrate__________________
i) Nitrogen trichloride ________NCI3____________________
j) CaCO3 ______Calcium carbonate
k) Sodium chloride ________NaCI____________________
l) S5O2 _____Pentasulfur
dioxide_______________________

2. Determine the molar mass for each compound in #1. Show all work!!! ☺
a) Molar mass of Tin = 118.7g/mol
g) Molar mass of Fe= 55.8/mol

b) Molar mass of ca(OH)2= 40.08g/mol + 34.02g/mol = 74.10g/mol

h) Molar mass of NaNo= 22.99 + 14.01
+ (16.00)3 = 85.00g/mol

c) Molar mass of sodium acetate= 82.03 g/mol

i)Molar mass of nitrogen trichloride 120.365 g/mol

d) molor mass of Zn= 65.4 g/mol

j)Molar mass of calcium carbonate= 40.08 + 12.01 + 16.00(3) =
100.09mol

e) molar mass of copper(II) sulfate= 63.66 + 32.07 + 16.00(4) = 159.61 g/mol

k) Molar mass of
sodium chloride= 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 g/mol
 f) molar mass of potassium phosphate 136 g/mol
l) S= 32.07
O= 16.00 x 2
= 64 g/mol
