3.1 Calculate Relative Molecular Mass(Mr) or Relative Formula Mass(Mr) from Relative Atomic Mass(Ar) Relative Atomic Mass of an element, Ar = Average mass of one atom of an element 1/12 x mass of one atom of carbon-12 Example 1 : How may times is one calcium atom heavier than one oxygen atom? [RAM O,16; Ca,40] Solution: Mass of one Ca atom Mass of one O atom 40 16

= 2.5

The mass of one Ca atom is 2.5 times heavier than one oxygen atom. Example 2 : How may calcium atoms have the same mass as two atoms of bromine? [RAM Br, 80] Solution: Mass of two atoms of bromine = 2 x 80 = 160 Number of calcium atoms = 160 = 4 40 Relative Molecular Mass of a molecule, Mr, = Average mass of one molecule 1/12 x mass of one atom of carbon-12

For ionic compounds, the term Relative Formula Mass, is used in place of relative molecular mass. Calculate Mr by adding up all the Ar of all the atoms present in the covalent molecule or one formula unit of the ionic compound. Ar and Mr have no units. Example 1 : Find the RMM and RFM of the following substances : Molecular Substances Oxygen Hydrochloric acid Water Sulphuric acid Ammonia Molecular Formula O2 HCl H2O H2SO4 NH3 Relative Molecular Mass (RMM) 2(16) = 32

Two precautionary steps taken to obtain more accurate results: 1. Make sure the flame touches the base of the copper can // Place the spirit lamp very close or just beneath the base of the copper can. 2. Stir the water in the copper can continuously throughout the experiment. 3. Weigh the spirit lamp and its content immediately when the flame has been put out. 4. Use a wind shield during experiment.
