Calculate the molar mass of the following substances:

(a) Ethylene
(b) Sulphur molecule, S8
(c) Phosphorus molecule, P4
(d) Hydrochloric acid, HCl
(e) Nitric acid, HNO3.

Solution

(a) Ethylene, C2H2 = 2 x 12 + 2 x 1 = 26 u

(b) Sulphur molecule, S8 = 8 x 32 = 256 u

(c) Phosphorus molecule, P4 = 4 x 31 = 124 u

(d) Hydrochloric acid, HCl = 1 x 1 + 1 x 35.5 = 36.5 u


(e) Nitric acid, HNO3 = 1 x 1 + 1 x 14 + 3 x 16 = 63 u
