Answer

The molar mass of each of the following:

     a) SnO=134.71gmol

     b) BaF2=175.33gmol

     c)  AI2 (SO4)3=342.17gmol

     d)  MnCI2=125.84gmol

1Step 1: Relation between mass and number of moles

The molar mass of a material is defined as the mass of the substance contained in one mole of the substance, and it is equal to the total mass of the component atoms. It may be stated mathematically as follows:

Molar mass=WeightgramsNumber of moles

2Step 2: Calulate the molar mass of SnO

a)

A compound's molar mass (M) is equal to the sum of the molar masses of the atoms in the formula.

The molar mass of are 118.71gmol and 16.00gmol respectively.

Molar mass of SnO   =   Molar mass of Sn+Molar mass of O                                 =              118.71gmol+16.00gmol                                 =                        134.71gmol

3Step 3: Calculate the molar mass of BaF 2

b)

Here the molar mass of Ba and F is given as 137.33gmol and 19.00gmol.

Molar mass of BaF2   =   Molar mass of Ba+2×(Molar mass of F)                                  =              137.33gmol+2(19.00gmol)                                  =                        175.33gmol

4Step 4: Determine the molar mass of AI 2 ( SO 4 ) 3

c)

Here the molar mass of Al and S is given as 26.98gmol and 32.07gmol


Molar mass of SnO   =  2× (Molar mass of AI)+3×(Molar mass of S)+12×(Molar mass of O)                                 =              2×(26.98gmol)+3×(32.07gmol)+12×(16.00gmol)                                 =                                                 342.17gmol

5Step 5: Determine the molar mass of MnCI 2

d)

Here the molar mass of Mn and Cl is given as 54.94gmol and 35.45gmol

Molar mass of MnCI2  =   Molar mass of Mn+2×(Molar mass of CI)                                   =              54.94gmol+2×(35.45gmol)                                   =                        125.84gmol
