1. Identify the elements and their atomic masses:
* Aluminum (Al): 26.98 g/mol
* Nitrogen (N): 14.01 g/mol
2. Determine the chemical formula:
* Aluminum nitride is AlN.
3. Calculate the molar mass:
* (1 x Al) + (1 x N)
* (1 x 26.98 g/mol) + (1 x 14.01 g/mol)
* 40.99 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of aluminum nitride (AlN) is 40.99 g/mol.
