Molar mass is a fundamental and must-know term in chemistry. Anyone who studies chemistry begins the journey with this term. The molar mass of a substance is defined as “the mass of one mole of any substance where the carbon-12 isotope is assigned a value of exactly 12gmol-1. Its symbol is M. Molar mass is important because of its usefulness in various calculations. To chemistry students, it is a tool to solve many problems and exercises, as molar mass can be used to calculate the mass or the amount of a sample of a certain substance. Obviously, the most popular way to determine a substance’s molar mass is by using its chemical formula. Another way is to use a sample of that substance and calculate from the mass and the amount of substance. However, not many people would think of using titration and back titration to calculate the molar mass of a substance.
Titration is the addition of a known-concentration solution, or the titrant, to a known-volume of a solution of unknown concentration, or the analyte, until the reaction reaches the equivalence point, which would be indicated vis...

    One of the best methods for determining mass in chemistry is gravimetric analysis (Lab Handout). It is essentially using the the mass of the product to figure out the original mass that we are looking for. Thus the purpose of our experiment was to compare the final mass in our reaction to the initial mass and determine the change in mass.

    Determining the Relative Atomic Mass of Lithium An experiment has been carried out to determine the relative atomic mass of Lithium by using two different types of methods The first method that was carried out was to determine the volume of Hydrogen produced. In this experiment a fixed amount of Lithium was used, in my case it was 0.11g. At the end of this experiment, the volume of Hydrogen gas I collected was 185cm³. Then using the solution of lithium hydroxide made from experiment one, I used it in the titrating experiment, to find out the total volume of Hydrochloric acid used to titrate the lithium hydroxide. RESULTS TABLE Experiment Initial Volume ( cm³) Final Volume ( cm³) Total volume Of HCl used ( cm³) Rough 0.2 30.3 30.1 1 6.3 35.8 29.5 2 2.7 32.0 29.3 Average 29.6 CONCLUSION Method 1 [IMAGE]2Li (s) + 2H20(l) LiOH(aq) + H2(g) Number of moles of Hydrogen.

  • Mass Luminosity Essay

    1211 Words  | 3 Pages

    Ever since the early days of human civilization, people gazed up into the sky into the beyond, wondering what secrets the stars held from them. The mass of stars compared to our sun is a frequented question by many astronomers. The answer lies within the luminosity and mass of the star. There are 2 different ways humans can calculate the mass of stars, both using luminosity. One way is to calculate luminosity with radius and temperature of the star being observed. Another much simpler way is to convert apparent magnitude, the brightness of the star observed from earth, to absolute magnitude, the brightness of stars when they are all lined up at the same distance, then convert into luminosity. Once luminosity is calculated, the mass — luminosity relation can be used to find mass.

    Mass spectroscopy originated in 1919 by a British scientist named Francis Aston when a machine was created for the purpose for measuring the proportions and masses of the atomic species in part of a sample. A mass spectrometer is an instrument that measures the masses of individual molecules that have been converted into ions e.g molecules that have been electrically charged. A Mass Spectrum is a plot of ion intensity as a function of the ion's mass-to-charge ratios. Spectroscopy is a diverse and complex branch of science. It has many uses and is widely acknowledged as an essential part of development in the world of science.
