Calculate the molar mass of the following substances (a) Ethyne C2H2 (b) Sulphur molecule S8 (c) Phosphorous molecule P4 (d) Nitric acid HNO3 (e) Hydrochloride acid HCl.


Molar mass of ethyne C2H2
Atomic mass of C = 12 amu
Atomic mass of H =1 amu
2(12) + 2(1) = 26 amu
Molar mass of ethyne = 26 amu

Molar mass of sulphur S8
Atomic mass of Sulphur=32 amu
8(32)=256 amu
Molar mass of sulphur= 256 amu

Molar mass of Phophorous molecule P4
Atomic mass of phosphorus= 31 amu
4(31)= 124 amu
Molar mass of phosphorus= 124 amu
Molar mass of HNO3
Atomic mass of H =1 amu
Atomic mass of N =14 amu
Atomic mass of O =16 amu
1+14+3(16 )= 63 amu
Molar mass of HNO3 = 63 amu

The molar mass of HCl
The atomic mass of H = 1 amu
The atomic mass of Cl = 35.5 amu
1+35.5=36.5 amu
Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 amu

Final Answer-

The molar mass of ethyne = 26 amu
The molar mass of sulphur= 256 amu
Molar mass of phosphorus= 124 amu
The molar mass of HNO3 = 63 amu
Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 amu
