Question
Calculate the relative molecular mass of Sodium acetate
(use K = 39, Cl = 35.5, O = 16, C = 12, H = 1, Na = 23, N = 14, S= 32)
Solution
The relative molecular mass of Sodium acetate (CH3COONa ) is :
[atomic mass of 2 C atom + Atomic mass of 3 H atom + atomic mass of 2 O atoms + atomic mass of 1 Na atom]
12 x 2 + 3 x 1 + 16 x 2 + 23 = 82
