Concept introduction:
A formula that represents a certain combination of elements present in a molecule is known as a molecular formula. In a molecular formula, the simpler number of every atom is present in a molecule.
Answer to Problem 121A
The molecular formula represents the number of atoms and the type of atoms present in the formula.
Value of molar mass is calculated by molecular formula of
Explanation of Solution
The molecular formula of potassium chromate is
Potassium chromate consists of three types of atoms that are potassium (
The number of atoms present in the molecule is denoted by subscript.
According to the formula of potassium chromate that is
With the help of the molecular formula of
Molar mass of potassium = 39.083 g/mole
Molar mass of chromium = 51.9961 g/mole
Molar mass of oxygen = 15.999 g/mole
Molar mass of
=
Thus, the value of molar mass is calculated by the molecular formula of
