00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.274
Here is the problem: What is the molar mass of KI?

2
00:00:03.724 --> 00:00:08.264
Add the atomic weights of all 2 atoms in one formula unit of KI.

3
00:00:09.064 --> 00:00:19.083
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
00:00:19.533 --> 00:00:26.522
Look up each atomic weight (g/mol). IUPAC standard atomic weights (abridged, conventional values).

5
00:00:26.972 --> 00:00:29.909
Multiply each count by its atomic weight.

6
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:31.868
Add the contributions.

7
00:00:32.668 --> 00:00:34.526
Mass percent of each element.

8
00:00:35.326 --> 00:00:41.839
So the answer is M(KI) equals 165.998 g/mol.

9
00:00:42.289 --> 00:00:53.690
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
00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:58.565
Percent composition adds to 100.00 percent.

11
00:00:59.015 --> 00:01:02.660
Elements: potassium times 1, iodine times 1.
