What is the Atomic Mass of SO4

Answer:

  • We need to know the molecular formula of sulfuric acid SO4 to compute its molar mass.
  • sulfate molecular formula is SO4
  • To get the molar mass of any chemical, we must first determine the molecular weight of the various elements that make up the molecule.
  • Sulphur and oxygen are the individual elements in the chemical formula of sulfuric acid SO4.
  • Hydrogen, Sulphur and oxygen have molecular weights of 32 and 16 respectively.
  • As a result, the molecular weight of sulfate SO4 can be simply computed, as shown below.

=(S) + 4(O) 

= (32) + 4(16) 

= 32 + 64 

= 96. 

As a result, the sulfuric acid SO4‘s molecular mass is 96 g/mol.
