•Do you want to find the molar mass of methane?
(yes!)
•Just add up the little guys in the compound!
•for methane that would be:
12.01 (C) + 1.01(H) + 1.01(H) + 1.01(H) + 1.01(H)
12.01 (C) + 1.01(H) + 1.01(H) + 1.01(H) + 1.01(H)
= 16.05 g/mol
•= molar
mass
•Just like before: get me a mass of
16.05 g of methane and you’ve given me a mol of it
