To calculate the molar mass of the compound NH42S, we first need to understand the components of the molecule.
1. **Determine the number of each type of atom**:
- There are 2 nitrogen (N) atoms.
- There are 8 hydrogen (H) atoms (4 from each NH4 unit, and there are 2 units).
- There is 1 sulfur (S) atom.
2. **Find the atomic masses** (approximations):
- Nitrogen (N) has an atomic mass of about 14.01 g/mol.
- Hydrogen (H) has an atomic mass of about 1.01 g/mol.
- Sulfur (S) has an atomic mass of about 32.07 g/mol.
3. **Calculate the total mass for each type of atom**:
- For nitrogen: 2 N × 14.01 g/mol = 28.02 g/mol
- For hydrogen: 8 H × 1.01 g/mol = 8.08 g/mol
- For sulfur: 1 S × 32.07 g/mol = 32.07 g/mol
4. **Add these together**:
28.02 g/mol (N) + 8.08 g/mol (H) + 32.07 g/mol (S) = 68.17 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of NH42S is approximately 68.17 g/mol.
