The molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance in g/mol. In order to determine the molar mass, you must know the chemical formula and have access to a Periodic Table. Let's use water as an example. The chemical formula for water is H2O. To find the molar mass, multiply the atomic weight on the periodic table in grams/mol for each element times the subscript for the element, and add the molar masses.

H: 2 x 1.00794g/mol = 2.01588g/mol

O: 1 x 15.9994g/mol = 15.9994g/mol

------------------------------------------------

Molar mass = 18.0153g/mol

Compounds that like water.


Which has more water potential a 0.6 molar solution or a 0.4 molar solution?

The 0.4 molar solution has a higher water potential because as the concentration of solute decreases, water potential increases. Water potential is a measure of the tendency of water to move from one area to another, and it is affected by factors like solute concentration and pressure.

How do you make a 0.1 molar solution if you had a 1.0 molar solution to start with?

To make a 0.1 molar solution from a 1.0 molar solution, you would dilute the original solution by a factor of 10. For example, you could mix 1 part of the 1.0 molar solution with 9 parts of solvent (like water) to achieve a final concentration of 0.1 molar.


Is mineral water an element mixture or compound?

Mineral water contains other elements or compounds too. They contain elements and compounds like Sodium, magnesium,macro nutrients,calcium and other minerals. So mineral water is a mixture of compounds.


What type of compounds can dissolve in water?

Polar compounds, such as salts and sugars, dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule. Nonpolar compounds, such as oils and fats, do not dissolve in water because they are not attracted to the polar water molecules.


Do all compounds contain water?

No, not all compound contain water like carbon dioxide, it does have water in it


Why and how inorganic compounds dissolve in water?

Inorganic compounds dissolve in water due to the water's polar nature. Water molecules attract and surround the ions or molecules of the inorganic compound, causing them to break apart. This process, called hydration, allows the individual components of the inorganic compound to be dispersed throughout the water.


Why are inorganic compounds alike?

Simple things like water. They have no carbon.
