Molar Mass of ionic compounds
Molar Mass Molar mass- same as atomic mass but for a compound rather than an atom. To determine the molar mass of any compound you add up the atomic mass of all atoms present. NaCl = g/mol (amu)
Molar mass with subscript numbers Subscript numbers mean there are that many of that atom. CaI = or you can multiply x 2 = = g/mol (amu)
Molar Mass with parenthesis Parenthesis and a subscript number mean there are that many of everything in the parenthesis Be(OH) ( ) x 2 = (17.008) x 2 = = g/mol
Combining all of them (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 ( x 4) x x 3 ( ) x (18.042) x = g/mol
Converting between moles and grams using molar mass
Converting between moles and grams molar mass is the conversion factor that many grams equal one mole of the substance! so convert 64 g of NaCl into moles 64 g NaCl 1 mole NaCl g NaCl = 1.1 mol NaCl
Practice problem How many grams are in 1.4 mol of potassium arsenate?
Another Problem How many moles are in 54 g of chromium (III) carbonate?
