00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.457
Here is the problem: What is the molar mass of C12H22O11?

2
00:00:05.907 --> 00:00:13.186
Add the atomic weights of all 45 atoms in one formula unit of C12H22O11.

3
00:00:13.986 --> 00:00:24.284
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
00:00:24.734 --> 00:00:31.863
Look up each atomic weight (g/mol). IUPAC standard atomic weights (abridged, conventional values).

5
00:00:32.313 --> 00:00:35.157
Multiply each count by its atomic weight.

6
00:00:35.607 --> 00:00:37.081
Add the contributions.

7
00:00:37.881 --> 00:00:39.785
Mass percent of each element.

8
00:00:40.585 --> 00:00:50.012
So the answer is M(C12H22O11) equals 342.297 g/mol.

9
00:00:50.462 --> 00:01:02.049
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
00:01:02.849 --> 00:01:06.808
Percent composition adds to 100.00 percent.

11
00:01:07.258 --> 00:01:12.854
Elements: carbon times 12, hydrogen times 22, oxygen times 11.
