In chemistry, the formula weight is a quantity computed by multiplying the atomic weight (in atomic mass units) of each element in a chemical formula by the number of atoms of that element present in the formula, then adding all of these products together. If the formula used in calculating molar mass is the molecular formula, the formula
The conversion factor that can be used is then based on the equality that 1 mol = 110.98g CaCl2 1 mol = 110.98 g CaCl 2. Dimensional analysis will allow you to calculate the mass of CaCl2 CaCl 2 that you should measure. 3.00mol CaCl2 × 110.98g CaCl2 1 molCaCl2 = 333 g CaCl2 3.00 mol CaCl 2 × 110.98 g CaCl 2 1 mol CaCl 2 = 333 g CaCl 2.
In contrast, rubber balloons filled with air tend to retain their shape and volume for a much longer time. Because helium has a molar mass of 4.00 g/mol, whereas air has an average molar mass of about 29 g/mol, pure helium effuses through the microscopic pores in the rubber balloon \(\sqrt{\dfrac{29}{4.00}}=2.7\) times faster than air.Multiply all the subscripts in the empirical formula by the whole number found in step 2. The result is the molecular formula. Example 7.9.1 7.9. 1. The empirical formula of a compound of boron and hydrogen is BH3 BH 3. Its molar mass is 27.7 g/mol 27.7 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula of the compound.
