Mole-mass calculation problems

When you’re measuring extremely tiny amounts of a substance, it can be helpful to use molar mass. According to the International System of Units, a mole is the amount of any substance that contains the same number of elementary entities—typically atoms or molecules—as there are atoms in 12 grams of the isotope carbon-12.

Molar mass is the mass in grams of 1 mole of any given substance. To find an element’s molar mass, start by checking the periodic table for the relative atomic mass of the element. This is usually located under the symbol and name of the element.

For instance, the relative atomic mass of zirconium (Zr) is 91.22. Next, multiply the atomic mass by the molar mass constant, which is equal to 1 gram per mole. For most elements, this means that the relative atomic mass is equal to the molar mass.

For instance, zirconium has a molar mass of 91.22 x 1 g/mol, or 91.22 g/mol. However, some elements, such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, only occur naturally in molecules of 2 or more atoms. In these cases, you’ll need to multi
