Calculate the molar mass of the compound shown below: P4O6 The molar mass of Phosphorous is 31 g/mol. The molar mass of Oxygen is 16 g/mol. If you are unsure how to calculate molar mass of a compound, see the example problem linked HERE. a 47 g/mol b 220 g/mol c 250 g/mol d 140 g/mol

1 answer

To calculate the molar mass of P4O6, we need to multiply the atomic mass of Phosphorous by the number of atoms present and the atomic mass of Oxygen by the number of atoms present, and then add the totals together.

Molar mass of P4O6 = (4 x atomic mass of Phosphorous) + (6 x atomic mass of Oxygen)
Molar mass of P4O6 = (4 x 31 g/mol) + (6 x 16 g/mol)
Molar mass of P4O6 = (124 g/mol) + (96 g/mol)
Molar mass of P4O6 = 220 g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of P4O6 is 220 g/mol. The correct answer is b) 220 g/mol.
