Use the periodic table to calculate the molar mass of each compound below. Give your answer to the correct number of significant figures. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) : 2 g/mol Water (H2O) : 4 g/mol Glucose (C6H12O6) : 2 g/mol Calcium sulfate (CaSO4) : 1 g/mol Magnesium phosphate (Mg3 (PO4) 2) : 1 g/mol

    From the periodic table you get the atomic masses of each element.

    These are the values that I have in my periodic table (use those numbers of your periodic table if your teache gave you a specific one)

    Na: 23 g/mol

    O: 16 g/mol

    H: 1 g/mol

    C: 12 g/mol

    Ca: 40 g/mol

    S: 32 g/mol

    Mg: 24 g/mol

    P: 31 g/mol

    Now I will do some examples and you do the others:

    1) NaOH: 1 atom of Na * 23 g/mol + 1 atom of O * 16 g/mol + 1 atom of H * 1 g/mol

    => 1*23g/mol + 1*16g/mol + 1*1g/mol = 40 g/mol

    2) H2O

    => 2 atoms of H * 1 g/mol + 1 atom of O * 16 g/mol = 2*1g/mol + 1*16g/mol = 18 g/mol

    3) Glucose: C6H12O6

    6*12 g/mol + 12 * 1g/mol + 6*16 g/mol = 72g/mol + 12g/mol + 96 g/mol = 180 g/mol

    4) CaSO4:

    1*40 g/mol + 1*32g/mol + 4*16g/mol = 136 g/mol

    Now you only have to do the last one by your own.
