. What is the molecular mass of sodium sulphate
A: 154
B: 119
C: 165
D: 142
Best Answer
Explanation:
The molecular mass is the entire sum of the masses of the atoms or components in the molecule.
Following the given substance, we may get the molecule's molecular mass:
- Determine the compound or molecule's formula.
- Determine the number of atoms in each element of the compound or molecule using the formula.
- Multiply each element's atomic weight by the number of atoms in that particular element.
- Carry out the same procedure for all of the constituents in the molecule or complex.
- Add together all of the values you got in the previous step.
- The molecular mass of the material can then be calculated by adding the unit as grams/mole.
Final Answer:
The molecular formula of sodium sulphate is Na2SO4, this can be calculated as:
2×Na+1×S+4×O=2×23+1×32+4×16=142 g/mol
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
