Answer

The molar mass of each of the following:

a) Sr(OH)2=121.64 gmol

b)  N2O3=76.02 gmol

c)  NaCIO3=106.44 gmol

d)  Cr2O3=152.00 gmol

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=WeightingramsNumber of moles

2Step 2: Calculate the molar mass of Sr ( OH ) 2

a)

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

Sr, O, and H have molar masses of 87.62,16.00 and1.01gmol respectively.

  MolarmassofSr(OH)2= MolarmassofSr+2×(MolarmassofH)+2×(MolarmassofO)                                        =        87.62gmol+2×(1.01gmol)+2×(16.00gmol)                                        =                                         121.64gmol

3Step 3: Calculate the molar mass of N 2 O 3

b)

Here the molar mass of N is given as 14.01gmol.

MolarmassofN2O3=2× (MolarmassofN)+3×(MolarmassofO)                                        =  2×(14.01gmol)+3×(16.00gmol)                                        =                                         76.02gmol

4Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of NaCIO 3

c)

Na and Cl have molar masses of 22.99 and 35.45gmol respectively.

MolarmassofNaCIO3= MolarmassofNa+MolarmassofCI+3×(MolarmassofO)                                        =        22.99gmol+35.45×gmol+3×(16.00gmol)                                        =                                         106.44gmol

5Step 5: Calculate the molar mass of Cr 2 o 3

d)

Here the molar mass of Cr is given as 52.00gmol
 Molarmass of Cr2O3=2×(Molarmass of Cr)+3×(Molarmass of O)                                      =2×(52.00gmol)+3×(16.00gmol)                                       =  152.00gmol
