Using chemical formulas

C12H22O11, this is a chemical formula. Could be ionic or molecular.

Chemical formula

Old information:

Ionic formula: NaCl (compound Is ionic)

Molecular formula: H2O (compound is molecular)

Every compound has a mass, so there is something called formula mass.

1. Molecular mass is the mass of 1 molecule of the compound measured in a. m. u.

2. Molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of the compound. Measured in g/mole

Calculating molecular mass.

Example 1; calculate the molecular and molar mass of the compound sucrose C12H22O11

Given (Average atomic masses(C=12 H+1 O=16))

Molecular masses= sum of average atomic masses at all atoms in a compound

C12H22O11

Molecular mass= (12x12)+(22x1)+(11x16)

=342 a.m.u.

Molar mass= 342 g/mole
