Frequently Asked Questions

What is the molar mass of Sodium acetate?

The molar mass of Sodium acetate (CH3COONa) is 82.034 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 8 atoms in one formula unit: 2 × 15.999 + 2 × 12.011 + 1 × 22.990 + 3 × 1.008 = 82.034.

What is the molecular weight of Sodium acetate?

82.034 — the same number as the molar mass, but as a dimensionless ratio rather than in g/mol. The two terms describe the same arithmetic, so a molecular weight of 82.03 and a molar mass of 82.03 g/mol are the same answer.

How many moles are in 100 g of Sodium acetate?

100 ÷ 82.034 = 1.2190 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.

What is the percent composition of Sodium acetate?

By mass, Sodium acetate is 39.01% oxygen, 29.28% carbon, 28.02% sodium, 3.69% hydrogen. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 82.034.

How many atoms are in one formula unit of Sodium acetate?

8: 2 oxygen, 2 carbon, 1 sodium, 3 hydrogen. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Sodium acetate contains 8 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
