3.8 Calculate the molar mass of each of the following:

(a) ${}^{\mathbf{Sr}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_{\mathbf{2}}}$ (b)${}^{{\mathbf{N}}_{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{3}}}$ (c)${}^{{\mathbf{NaCIO}}_{\mathbf{3}}}$ (d)${}^{{\mathbf{Cr}}_{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{3}}}$

The molar mass of a material is defined as the mass of the substance contained in one mole of the substance, and it is equal to the total mass of the component atoms. It may be stated mathematically as follows:

$\mathbf{Molar}\mathbf{}\mathbf{mass}\mathbf{=}\frac{\mathbf{Weightingrams}}{\mathbf{Number}\mathbf{}\mathbf{of}\mathbf{}\mathbf{moles}}$

a)

A compound's molar mass is equal to the sum of the molar masses of the atoms in the formula.

Sr, O, and H have molar massesof ${}^{\mathbf{87}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{62}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{16}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{00}\mathbf{}\mathbf{and}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{01}\frac{\mathbf{g}}{\mathbf{mol}}}$respectively.
