Molar Masses

Question 13 • 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 approximate atomic masses, its molar mass is (2 × 26.98) + (3 × 32.06) + (12 × 16.00) = 342.14 g/mol, which rounds to the listed value of 342.17 g/mol. The correct choice is 342.17 g/mol.
