00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.750
Here is the problem: What is the molar mass of N2O5?

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:09.482
Add the atomic weights of all 7 atoms in one formula unit of N2O5.

3
00:00:10.282 --> 00:00:20.383
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
00:00:20.833 --> 00:00:27.903
Look up each atomic weight (g/mol). IUPAC standard atomic weights (abridged, conventional values).

5
00:00:28.354 --> 00:00:31.361
Multiply each count by its atomic weight.

6
00:00:31.811 --> 00:00:33.320
Add the contributions.

7
00:00:34.120 --> 00:00:36.059
Mass percent of each element.

8
00:00:36.859 --> 00:00:43.848
So the answer is M(N2O5) equals 108.009 g/mol.

9
00:00:44.298 --> 00:00:55.966
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
00:00:56.766 --> 00:01:01.050
Percent composition adds to 100.00 percent.

11
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:05.111
Elements: nitrogen times 2, oxygen times 5.
