Vitamin B12 , cyanocobalamin, is essential for human nutrition. It is concentrated in animal tissue but not in higher plants. Although nutritional requirements for the vitamin are quite low, people who abstain completely from animal products may develop a deficiency anemia. Cyanocobalamin is the form used in vitamin supplements. It contains 4.34% cobalt by mass. Calculate the molar mass of cyanocobalamin, assuming that there is one atom of cobalt in every molecule of cyanocobalamin.
Mole is the term used to express the quantities of substances involved in a chemical reaction. Mole is defined as the amount of a substance that contains Avogadro's number of particles
(atoms, ions, molecules, etc.). Avogadro's number is defined as the number of atoms present in 12 g of carbon-12 isotope, with a numerical value equal to 6.022 x 1023. The mole is a
unit similar to a dozen; one dozen
equivalent to 12 the same way that one mole is equivalent to 6.022 x 1023.
You could use this information to write equalities:
12 molecules of H2O = 1 dozen of H2O
6.022 x 1023 molecules of H2O = 1 mol of H2O
For example, if I had 18 molecules of water, I would have
18 molecules of water x
dozen of water
= 1.5 dozen of water
12 molecules of water
Molar mass is the mass in grams of 1 mol of substance numerically equal to molecular weight in amu (atomic mass unit). Mass is a measure of quantity, and when you use a balance to
weigh a sample, the scale is using a set of standards to determine…

- A molecular formula expresses the number of each kind of atom in a molecule. For example, the molecular formula for propene, C3H6C3H6, indicates three carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms per molecule. This also means that one mole of propene contains three moles of carbon and six moles of hydrogen.An empirical formula expresses the mole ratio of the elements. The empirical formula for propene is CH2CH2, indicating twice as much hydrogen as carbon. When analyzing unknown compounds in a lab, it is often possible to identify the mole ratios, and thus the empirical formula, but not the molecular formula.Notice that the molecular mass of propene, 3(12)+6(1)=42amu3(12)+6(1)=42amu, is a multiple of the empirical formula mass, 1(12)+2(1)=14 amu An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CxHyOzCxHyOz).
