Molecular mass
Mass of a substance is the sum of total atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule of that substance it is therefore relative molecule expressed in atomic mass unit (u)
• Calculate the relative molecular mass Of
1. copper sulphate (CuSO4)
2. Calcium hydrogen carbonate (Ca(HCO3)2)
Solution:-
Atomic mass of copper – 64u
Atomic mass of sulphur – 32u
Atomic mass of oxygen – 16u
Molecular mass of copper sulphate (CuSO4)= 64+32+16×4
=64+32+64 = 160u
Atomic mass of calcium – 40u
Atomic mass of hydrogen – 1u
Atomic mass of carbon – 12u
Atomic mass of oxygen – 16u
Molecular mass of calcium hydrogen carbonate (Ca(HCO3)2)
=40+(1+12+16×3)2
=40+(1+12+48)2
=40+(61)2
=40+122
=162u
MOLAR MASS
Molar mass is the gram atomic/molecular mass of a substance
1. Sulphur molecule
2. Oxygen atom
3. Nitrogen molecule
4. Copper sulphate
5. H2O
Solution
=2×4=8gram
=14/2=7g
= 16g
Solution
4. Total no. of particles = Given mass × avogadro number of particles/ molar mass
= 78.286×10^23
2. Total no. of particles= 8×6.022×10^23/16
Total no. of particles = 6.022×10^23/2
=3.011×10^23
3. Total no. of particles = 28×6.022×10^23/14
Total no. of particles = 2×6.022×10^23
= 12.044×10^23
