What Is The Correlation Of Using The Molar Mass Of Elements To Identify Unknown Substances?

521 Words3 Pages
Introduction This report discusses an experiment to study the correlation using the molar mass of elements to identify unknown substances by weighing the mass of the substance and calculating the grams per mole. The main objective of this experiment is to determine the mass similarities between the given and unknown substances. The equation used in this experiment is: Molar Mass = Mass (g) / Mol Where the molar mass of the unknown substance, the mass of the unknown substance, Mol is the number of moles in the unknown substance. These results will be compared to the molar mass of the given compound. Methods and Materials The materials used in this experiment consist of an electronic balance scale, a Periodic table, and sealed plastic bags of unknown A with 0.218 mols, unknown B with 0.096 mols, unknown C with 1.01 mols, unknown D with 0.025 mols, unknown E with 0.134 mols, unknown F with 0.72 mols, and unknown G with 0.232 mols and the given compounds Calcium acetate, Calcium oxide, Potassium sulfate, Sodium acetate, sodium carbonate and sodium chlor The hypothesis was to find the similarities between the known and unknown substances with their molar mass to determine the identity of the unknown substance. The steps of the experiment are as follows: Weigh and record the unknown substances on the balance scale.
