Asked by Siddhu Sakth · 2 years ago
Can someone please explain how to calculate the molecular mass of NaOH?
1 Answer
The molecular mass of a compound is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in its molecule. To calculate the molecular mass of NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide):
- Atomic mass of Sodium (Na) = 23 u
- Atomic mass of Oxygen (O) = 16 u
- Atomic mass of Hydrogen (H) = 1 u
Therefore, the molecular mass of NaOH is:
23 (Na) + 16 (O) + 1 (H) = 40 u
