What is the molar mass of #C_6H_6#?

Answer 1

The molar mass of the compound #"C"_6"H"_6"# is #"78.1118 g/mol"#.

A compound's molar mass, which is its relative atomic mass on the periodic table expressed in g/mol, is the mass of one mole in grams per mole. It is calculated by multiplying the subscript of each element by its molar mass.

Determine the Molar Mass of #"C"_6"H"_6"#

First, use the periodic table to find each element's molar mass.

Molar mass of #"C:"# #"12.0107 g/mol"#

Molar mass of #"H:"# #"1.00794 g/mol"#

Next determine the molar mass of #"C"_6"H"_6"#.

#(6xx12.0107"g/mol")+(6xx1.00794"g/mol")="78.1118 g/mol"#

The molar mass of the compound #"C"_6"H"_6"# is #"78.1118 g/mol"#.

Note: According to certain periodic tables, the relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 and that of carbon is 12.011.

Additionally, if you are not required to demonstrate how the molar mass was calculated, you can research it on reputable websites. Wikipedia is one such site, and The Pubchem Project can be found at https://tutor.hix.ai

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
