00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.841
Here is the problem: What is the molar mass of K2Cr2O7?

2
00:00:05.291 --> 00:00:12.071
Add the atomic weights of all 11 atoms in one formula unit of K2Cr2O7.

3
00:00:12.871 --> 00:00:23.088
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
00:00:23.538 --> 00:00:30.643
Look up each atomic weight (g/mol). IUPAC standard atomic weights (abridged, conventional values).

5
00:00:31.093 --> 00:00:34.053
Multiply each count by its atomic weight.

6
00:00:34.504 --> 00:00:36.025
Add the contributions.

7
00:00:36.825 --> 00:00:38.636
Mass percent of each element.

8
00:00:39.436 --> 00:00:47.725
So the answer is M(K2Cr2O7) equals 294.181 g/mol.

9
00:00:48.175 --> 00:00:59.216
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
00:01:00.016 --> 00:01:04.068
Percent composition adds to 100.00 percent.

11
00:01:04.518 --> 00:01:09.673
Elements: potassium times 2, chromium times 2, oxygen times 7.
