1. Calculate the formula weight of each of the following to three significant figures, using a table of atomic weight (AW): (a) chloroform CHCl3 (b) Iron sulfate Fe2 (SO4)3. 2. Calculate the molecular mass (formula mass) of C 6 H 12 O 6 ? 3. Calculate the molecular mass of C 12 H 22 O 11 ? Can anyone give me questions like this

Solution
  1.  a.chloroform
1 x AW of C = 12.0 amu
1 x AW of H = 1.0 amu
3 x AW of Cl = 3 x 35.45 = 106.4 amu
Formula weight of CHCl3 = 119.4 amu
The answer rounded to three significant figures is 119 amu.
  1. b. Iron(III)Sulfate
2 x Atomic weight of Fe = 2 x 55.8 = 111.6 amu
3 x Atomic weight of S = 3 x 32.1 = 96.3 amu
3 x 4 Atomic weight of O =12x16 = 192.0 amu
Formula weight of Fe2 (SO4)3 = 399.9 amu
The answer rounded to three significant figures is 4.00 x 102 amu.
 
  1. 6 ×    AW of C =         72
12  × AW of H =         12
6  ×   AW of O =         96
     = 72 amu + 12amu + 96 amu =  180 amu = molecular mass of C6H12O6
  1. 12  ×   AW of C   =  144
22  ×   AW of H   =   22
11  ×   AW of O  =   176
     =  144 amu + 22 amu + 176 amu   =  342 amu = molecular mass of C12H22O11

Well i can`t copy and paste questions here i`ll have to type them all, and it`s better if you get a book it`ll be easier for you to solve it that way. :)
