Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

Molecular weight, also known as molecular mass or molar mass, is a fundamental property that represents the mass of a molecule or compound in atomic mass units (amu) or grams per mole (g/mol). It plays a crucial role in various aspects of chemistry, including stoichiometry, chemical reactions, and analytical chemistry.

Molecular weight is calculated by summing the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule, taking into account the molecular formula. Each element has a specific atomic mass, which is often provided on the periodic table. To find the molecular weight of a compound, we need to identify the elements present, determine their quantities in the compound, and perform the appropriate calculations.

Now, let's proceed to determine the molecular weights of the given organic compounds based on the provided diagrams.
