The molar mass of the following: [Unit is ‘g’]
(a) Ethyne, C2H2
= 2 x 12 + 2 x 1
= 24 + 2 = 26 g
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
(b) Sulphur molecule, S8
= 8 x 32 = 256 g
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
(c) Phosphorus molecule, P4=4 x 31 = i24g
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
(d) Hydrochloric acid, HCl
= 1 x 1 + 1 x 35.5
= 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
(e) Nitric acid, HN03
= 1 x 1 + 1 x 14 + 3 x 16
= 1 + 14 + 48 = 63 g
