To calculate the molar mass of nitroglycerin (C3H5O3(NO2)3), you sum up the molar masses of all the atoms in the compound:

Carbon (C): 3 atoms x 12.01 g/mol = 36.03 g/mol Hydrogen (H): 5 atoms x 1.008 g/mol = 5.04 g/mol Oxygen (O): 3 atoms x 16.00 g/mol + 6 atoms x 16.00 g/mol = 144.00 g/mol Nitrogen (N): 3 atoms x 14.01 g/mol = 42.03 g/mol

Total molar mass = 36.03 g/mol + 5.04 g/mol + 144.00 g/mol + 42.03 g/mol = 227.10 g/mol

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.
