Question

Calculate the molecular masses of the following compounds :

Carbon disulphide, CS₂

_{(Atomic masses : H = 1 u ; S = 32 u ; C = 12 u)}

Answer 1

Given:

Atomic mass of C = 12 u

Atomic mass of S = 32 u

Therefore, molecular mass of CS₂ can be calculated as follows:

(1 × 12) + (2 × 32) = 76

Hence, molecular mass of carbon disulphide is 76 u.
