Molar Mass (calculation)

What is the molar mass of Sodium, Water & Sodium Chloride?

[Relative atomic mass: H = 1; O = 16; Na = 23; Cl = 35.5]

 

Answer:

Molar mass of Sodium = Relative atomic mass of Na = 23 g mol-1

Molar mass of Water = Relative molecular mass of H2O = 1 + 1 + 16 = 18 g mol-1

Molar mass of Sodium Chloride = Relative formula mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g mol-1

 

Note: Sodium is a metal made up of only Na atoms; Water is a molecular compound made up of H2O molecules; Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound made up of NaCl formula units.
