how to calculate the molecular mass of any substance
Answers
Explanation:
The mole allows scientists to calculate the number of elementary entities (usually atoms or molecules ) in a certain mass of a given substance.
Avogadro’s number is an absolute number: there are 6.022×1023 elementary entities in 1 mole. This can also be written as 6.022×1023 mol-1.
The mass of one mole of a substance is equal to that substance’s molecular weight. For example, the mean molecular weight of water is 18.015 atomic mass units (amu), so one mole of water weight 18.015 grams.
Key Terms
mole: The amount of substance of a system that contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 12 g of carbon-12.
to to calculate molecular mass of any compound first we have to know the mass of the elements contained in a comp on and sum all the mass in a compound so you find molecular mass and molecular mass expressed in AMU
