Question -Calculate the molar mass of the following substances: [5 MARKS] (a) Ethyne, C2H2 (b) Sulphur molecule, S8 (c) Phosphorus molecule, P4 (atomic mass of phosphorus = 31) (d) Hydrochloric acid, HCl (e) Nitric acid, HNO3
Answer: : Each point: 1 Mark (a) Ethyne, C2H2 Molar mass of ethyne, C2H2 = 2 x 12 + 2 x 1 = 26 g (b) Sulphur molecule, S8 Molar mass of sulphur molecule, S8 = 8 x 32 = 256 g (c) Phosphorus molecule, P4 (atomic mass of phosphorus = 31) Molar mass of phosphorus molecule, P4 = 4 x 31 = 124 g (d) Hydrochloric acid, HCl Molar mass of hydrochloric acid, HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g (e) Nitric acid, HNO3 Molar mass of nitric acid, HNO3 = 1 + 14 + 3 x 16 = 63 g
