* Identify the elements: Hydrogen sulfide contains hydrogen (H) and sulfur (S).
* Find the atomic masses:
* Hydrogen (H): 1.008 g/mol
* Sulfur (S): 32.065 g/mol
* Multiply the atomic masses by the number of atoms in the molecule:
* Hydrogen (H): 1.008 g/mol * 2 = 2.016 g/mol
* Sulfur (S): 32.065 g/mol * 1 = 32.065 g/mol
* Add the masses of all the atoms together:
* 2.016 g/mol + 32.065 g/mol = 34.081 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is 34.081 g/mol.
