00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.074
Here is the problem: How many moles are in 49 g of H2SO4?

2
00:00:05.524 --> 00:00:11.561
Add the atomic weights of all 7 atoms in one formula unit of H2SO4.

3
00:00:12.361 --> 00:00:22.798
Count the atoms of each element. Subscripts multiply everything inside the brackets before them, and a hydrate coefficient multiplies the whole water (or other) unit.

4
00:00:23.248 --> 00:00:30.319
Look up each atomic weight (g/mol). IUPAC standard atomic weights (abridged, conventional values).

5
00:00:30.769 --> 00:00:33.695
Multiply each count by its atomic weight.

6
00:00:34.145 --> 00:00:35.678
Add the contributions.

7
00:00:36.478 --> 00:00:38.359
Mass percent of each element.

8
00:00:38.809 --> 00:00:40.934
Convert the sample mass to moles.

9
00:00:41.384 --> 00:00:43.067
Number of formula units.

10
00:00:43.867 --> 00:00:56.812
So the answer is M(H2SO4) equals 98.072 g/mol; 49 g equals 0.499633 mol.

11
00:00:57.262 --> 00:01:08.918
The molar mass is the mass of one mole of formula units. It equals the sum of the atomic weights of every atom in the formula, and numerically matches the formula mass in daltons (u).

12
00:01:09.718 --> 00:01:13.723
Percent composition adds to 100.00 percent.

13
00:01:14.173 --> 00:01:19.107
Elements: hydrogen times 2, sulfur times 1, oxygen times 4.
