a. The molar mass of CaSO4islocalid="1653485864538" 136.10g

b. The molar mass of C6H12N2O4Ptislocalid="1653485853366" 371.11g

c. The molar mass of C12H18Oislocalid="1653485842829" 178.11g

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1 : Given information

We have to find the molar mass ofCaSO4

02

Part (a) Step 2 : Simplification

We know that,

Molar mass of one Caatom =localid="1653485910362" 40.08g

Molar mass of one Satom =localid="1653485900062" 32.06g

Molar mass of one Oatom =localid="1653485889919" 15.99g

So, the molar mass ofCaSO4=40.08+32.06+415.99=localid="1653485880164" 136.10g

03

Part (b) Step 1 : Given information

We have to find the molar mass ofC6H12N2O4Pt

04

Part (b) Step 2 : Simplification

We know that,

Molar mass of one Catom =localid="1653485924369" 12.01g

Molar mass of one Hatom =localid="1653485935314" 1.00g

Molar mass of one Natom =localid="1653485944647" 14.00g

Molar mass of one Oatom =localid="1653485953686" 15.99g

Molar mass of one Ptatom = localid="1653485962397" 195.09g

So, the molar mass of C6H12N2O4Pt= 612.01+121.00+214.00+415.99+195.09

=localid="1653485972995" 371.11g

05

Part (c) Step 1 : Given information

We have to find the molar mass ofC12H18O

06

Part (c) Step 2 : Simplification

We know that,

Molar mass of one Catom = localid="1653485985918" 12.01g

Molar mass of one Hatom =localid="1653485994516" 1.00g

Molar mass of one Oatom =localid="1653486004544" 15.99g

So, the molar mass ofC12H18O=1212.01+181.00+15.99=localid="1653486014010" 178.11g
