00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.483
Here is the problem: What is the molar mass of AgNO3?

2
00:00:03.933 --> 00:00:09.192
Add the atomic weights of all 5 atoms in one formula unit of AgNO3.

3
00:00:09.992 --> 00:00:20.255
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
00:00:20.705 --> 00:00:27.810
Look up each atomic weight (g/mol). IUPAC standard atomic weights (abridged, conventional values).

5
00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:31.058
Multiply each count by its atomic weight.

6
00:00:31.508 --> 00:00:32.983
Add the contributions.

7
00:00:33.782 --> 00:00:35.558
Mass percent of each element.

8
00:00:36.358 --> 00:00:43.127
So the answer is M(AgNO3) equals 169.874 g/mol.

9
00:00:43.577 --> 00:00:55.024
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).

10
00:00:55.824 --> 00:00:59.853
Percent composition adds to 100.00 percent.

11
00:01:00.303 --> 00:01:05.504
Elements: silver times 1, nitrogen times 1, oxygen times 3.
