Molar Mass Calculate the Molar Mass of H 2 O 1 mole of H 2 O contains 2 mols H and 1 mol O. The mass of 2 moles H = 2 mol(1.008 g/mol)= 2.016 g The mass of 1 mole O = 1 mol(15.999 g/mol) = 15.999 g The mass of 1 mole of H 2 O = 15.999 g + 2.016g =18.015g The molar mass of H 2 O is 18.015 g/mol

Percent Composition What is the percent composition of Hydrogen in H 2 O? 2.016 g/mol 18.015 g/mol = 0.1119 x 100% = 11.19%
4
Important Factors What is the percent composition of Hydrogen in H 2 O? 2.016 g/mol 18.015 g/mol = 0.1119 x 100% = 11.19% 1.Significant figures 2.Units 3.Showing your work!!!!
5
Sig Fig rules again All zeros at the end after a decimal point are significant, leading zeros are never significant 0.0010 All nonzero numbers are significant 1234 All zeros between significant numbers are significant 1001 If there is a decimal point at the end all numbers are significant 1000. If there is no decimal point ending zeros are NOT significant 1000
6
Addition and Subtraction Sig Fig Rules When adding you keep the number of decimal places of the number with the smallest number of decimal places. 2.5 + 2.50 = 5.0 When multiplying your answer has to have the number of sig figs and the value with the least number of sig figs in the equation 2.5 x 2 = 5 not 5.0
