Answer

The molar mass of each of the following:

      a)  (NH4)3PO4=149.12gmol

      b)  CH2CI2=84.93gmol

      c)  CuSO4.5H2O=249.72gmol

      d)  BrF3=136.90gmol

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 ( NH 4 ) 3   PO 4

a)

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

N, H, P, and O have molar masses of 14.01,1.01,30.97 and 16.00gmol respectively.
Molar mass of (NH1)3PO4  =  3× (Molar mass of N)+12×(Molar mass of H)+(Molar mass of P)+4×(Molar mass of O)                                          =           3×( 14.01gmol)+12×(1.01gmol)+(30.97gmol)+4×(16.00gmol)                                           =                        149.12gmol

3Step 3: Calculate the molar mass of CH 2 CI 2

b)

Here the molar mass of C and Cl is given as 12.01 and 35.45gmol

Molar mass of CH2CI2 =   Molar mass of C+2×(Molar mass of H)+2×(Molar mass of CI)                                   =           12.01gmol+2×(1.01gmol)+2×(35.45gmol)                                   =                        84.93gmol

4Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of CuSO 4 . 5 H 2 O

c)

Cu and S have molar masses of 63.955, and 32.07gmol respectively.

Molar mass of CuSO4.5H2O =  Molar mass of Cu+Molar mass of S+9×(Molar mass of O)+(Molar mass of H)                                              =           63.55gmol+32.07gmol+9×(16.00gmol)+(16.00gmol)+10×(1.01gmol)                                              =                        249.72gmol

5Step 5: Determine the molar mass of BrF 3

d)

Here the molar mass of Br and F is given as 79.90 and 19.00gmol

Molar mass of BrF3   =   Molar mass of Br+3×(Molar mass of F)                                 =              79.90gmol+3×(19.00gmol)                                 =                        136.90gmol
