Percent Composition and Molar Mass

The video tutorial covers the calculation of molar mass and percent composition. It begins with a review of molar mass using aluminum oxide, followed by a detailed example with iron(II) phosphate. The tutorial then introduces percent composition, explaining how to calculate it using water as an example. The lesson concludes with a final example and a homework assignment on both topics.

What is the unit used for molar mass?

• Grams per liter

• Liters per mole

• Grams per mole

• Moles per gram

How many oxygen atoms are in iron(II) phosphate?

• Ten

• Four

• Six

• Eight

What is the atomic mass of phosphorus used in the calculation?

• 16.00

• 12.01

• 55.85

• 30.97

What is the first step in finding percent composition?

• Identify the compound's formula

• Calculate the molar mass

• Find the atomic number

• Determine the number of moles

How do you calculate the percent composition of an element in a compound?

• Divide the atomic number by the molar mass

• Multiply the atomic mass by 100

• Subtract the atomic mass from the molar mass

• Divide the mass of the element by the molar mass and multiply by 100

What is the molar mass of water?

• 14.02 grams per mole

• 20.02 grams per mole

• 16.00 grams per mole
