00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.785
Here is the problem: What is the molar mass of Pb(NO3)2?

2
00:00:04.235 --> 00:00:09.587
Add the atomic weights of all 9 atoms in one formula unit of Pb(NO3)2.

3
00:00:10.387 --> 00:00:20.871
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
00:00:21.321 --> 00:00:28.240
Look up each atomic weight (g/mol). IUPAC standard atomic weights (abridged, conventional values).

5
00:00:28.691 --> 00:00:31.617
Multiply each count by its atomic weight.

6
00:00:32.067 --> 00:00:33.588
Add the contributions.

7
00:00:34.388 --> 00:00:36.257
Mass percent of each element.

8
00:00:37.057 --> 00:00:44.244
So the answer is M(Pb(NO3)2) equals 331.208 g/mol.

9
00:00:44.694 --> 00:00:56.141
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
00:00:56.941 --> 00:01:00.923
Percent composition adds to 100.00 percent.

11
00:01:01.373 --> 00:01:06.818
Elements: lead times 1, nitrogen times 2, oxygen times 6.
