Question:

Calculate the molecular mass of the following:
(i) H2O
(ii) CO2
(iii) CH4

Answer:

Molecules are made up of atoms & are  quite small, therefore the actual mass of a molecule cannot be detrmined.It is expressed as the relative mass.C-12 isotope is used to express the relative molecular masses of substances.Thus  molecular mass of a substance may be defined as: the average relative mass of its molecule as compared to the mass of carbon atom taken as 12 amu.

(i) H2O:

The molecular mass of water, H2O

= (2 × Atomic mass of hydrogen) + (1 × Atomic mass of oxygen)

= [2(1.0084) + 1(16.00 u)]

= 2.016 u + 16.00 u

= 18.016

= 18.02 u

(ii) CO2:

The molecular mass of carbon dioxide, CO2

= (1 × Atomic mass of carbon) + (2 × Atomic mass of oxygen)

= [1(12.011 u) + 2 (16.00 u)]

= 12.011 u + 32.00 u

= 44.01 u

(iii) CH4:

The molecular mass of methane, CH4

= (1 × Atomic mass of carbon) + (4 × Atomic mass of hydrogen)

= [1(12.011 u) + 4 (1.008 u)]

= 12.011 u + 4.032 u

= 16.043 u

for people who are confused that why are there 0,1,2,3,4 orbitals instead of 0,1,2,3,4,5 it is because the formula for l=n-1 doesn't tell the sub-shells of the shell, but it tells the NUMBER OF ORBITALS in each shell. example- taking n=5, l should have n-1=4 NUMBER OF SUB-SHELLS i.e 0,1,2,3 and not 0,1,2,3,4

The value of l should be 0,1,2,3 There's no point of putting 4 as we have s,p,d and f orbitals only

L =0 to (n-1) then its value should be 0 1 2 3 4 5

If n=6 then l should be 0,1,2,3,4,5
