Chapter 8 Molecular & Formula Masses
Atomic mass The atomic mass is the average mass of an atom.
When using atomic masses make sure to round to at least one decimal place.
What is the atomic mass of actinium (Ac)?
What is the atomic mass of hydrogen (H)?
What is the mass of hydrogen (H 2 )?
Determine the Molecular Mass of Vitamin A C 20 H 30 O
Determine the Molecular Mass of Vitamin A C 20 H 30 O 20 x 12.0 = x 1.0 = x 16.0 = 16.0 = amu
Formula Mass The formula mass is the mass of an ionic compound. An ionic compound is formed from a combination of metals and nonmetals. Formulas masses are calculated the same as molecular masses.
Determine the Formula Mass of Calcium Phosphate Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2
Determine the Formula Mass of Calcium Phosphate Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 3 x 40.1 = x 31.0 = x 16.0 = = amu
