Chapter 1, Problem 28P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The relative molecular mass of $\left[\text{Ag}{\left({\text{NH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}\right]\text{Cl}$ needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The molecular mass of any compound can be calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of all the elements present in it. For example, the molecular mass of AB can be calculated as follows:

  $M_{\text{AB}}=A_{\text{A}}+A_{\text{B}}$

Here, A and B are atoms of two different elements.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The relative molecular mass of ${\text{Ca}}_{\text{3}}{\left[\text{Co}{\left({\text{CO}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{3}}\right]}_{\text{2}}$ needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The molecular mass of any compound can be calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of all the elements present in it. For example, the molecular mass of AB can be calculated as follows:

  $M_{\text{AB}}=A_{\text{A}}+A_{\text{B}}$

Here, A and B are atoms of two different elements.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The relative molecular mass of OsO₄ needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The molecular mass of any compound can be calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of all the elements present in it. For example, the molecular mass of AB can be calculated as follows:

  $M_{\text{AB}}=A_{\text{A}}+A_{\text{B}}$

Here, A and B are atoms of two different elements.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The relative molecular mass of H₂SO₄ needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The molecular mass of any compound can be calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of all the elements present in it. For example, the molecular mass of AB can be calculated as follows:

  $M_{\text{AB}}=A_{\text{A}}+A_{\text{B}}$

Here, A and B are atoms of two different elements.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The relative molecular mass of Ca₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: The molecular mass of any compound can be calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of all the elements present in it. For example, the molecular mass of AB can be calculated as follows:

  $M_{\text{AB}}=A_{\text{A}}+A_{\text{B}}$
