Question
Calculate the molecular masses of the following compounds :
Hydrogen sulphide, H2S
Advertisements
Solution
Given:
Atomic mass of H = 1 u
Atomic mass of S = 32 u
Therefore, molecular mass of H2S can be calculated as follows:
(2 × 1) + (1 × 32) = 34
Hence, molecular mass of hydrogen sulphide is 34 u.
