  • Calculating the Molar Mass of Sulfur Trioxide (SO₃)
    You're asking for the molar mass of sulfur trioxide (SO₃), not its mass. Mass refers to the amount of matter in a specific sample, while molar mass is a property of the substance itself.

    Here's how to calculate the molar mass of sulfur trioxide:

    1. Look up the atomic masses:

    * Sulfur (S): 32.06 g/mol

    * Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol

    2. Multiply the atomic mass of each element by its subscript in the formula:

    * Sulfur: 32.06 g/mol * 1 = 32.06 g/mol

    * Oxygen: 16.00 g/mol * 3 = 48.00 g/mol

    3. Add the results to find the molar mass of SO₃:

    * 32.06 g/mol + 48.00 g/mol = 80.06 g/mol

    Therefore, the molar mass of sulfur trioxide is 80.06 grams per mole.
