Calculate the Molar Mass of Benzene

Calculate the molecular molar mass of benzene

To answer this question, we must first understand all of Benzene C₆H₆ physical and chemical properties. We also need to understand the structure of benzene in order to answer all queries about the molecule benzene C₆H₆.

To determine the molar mass, we must first comprehend the procedure for calculating the molar mass of any compound, after which we will proceed with the supplied substance using this procedure. To calculate the molar mass of a specific substance, we will utilise the atomic masses of the constituent elements from the periodic table.

Benzene is a liquid aromatic hydrocarbon with a gasoline-like odour that is clear, colourless, extremely flammable, and volatile. C₆H₆ is the chemical formula for benzene. Carbon and hydrogen are the two elements that make up benzene.

To begin, we must understand the stages involved in determining a compound’s molecular mass.

• Find out what the molecule’s molecular formula is.

• Determine the atomic mass of each element in the molecule using the periodic table.

• Multiply the atomic mass of each element in the molecule by the number of atoms of that element. The subscript following the element symbol in the molecular formula represents this number.

• For each atom in the molecule, add these values together.

Using these procedures, we can now calculate the molecular mass of benzene.

• C₆H₆ is the chemical formula for benzene.

• Carbon and hydrogen are the two components that make up the chemical benzene.

Atomic mass of carbon – 12.01 g/mol 

Atomic mass of hydrogen – 1.01 g/mol

By combining these numbers,

=[ (12 × 6) + ( 6 ×  1)] g/ mol

    = (72 + 6) g/mol

    = 78 g/mol

As a result, Benzene’s molecular mass is 78 g/mol
