Molar Masses

Question 3 • LA-Chemistry A

What is the molar mass of Al2(SO4)3?

Answer
A
150.03 g/mol
B
278.03 g/mol
C
342.17 g/mol
D
450.09 g/mol

Explanation

Al₂(SO₄)₃ contains 2 aluminum atoms, 3 sulfur atoms, and 12 oxygen atoms. Using atomic masses of about 26.98 g/mol for Al, 32.06 g/mol for S, and 16.00 g/mol for O gives 2(26.98) + 3(32.06) + 12(16.00) = 342.14 g/mol, which rounds to 342.17 g/mol with more precise atomic masses. Therefore, the molar mass is choice C, 342.17 g/mol.
