  • Calculate the Molar Mass of Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate (KHC8H4O4)
    You're asking to calculate the molar mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4), not just the "approximate mass." Here's how to do that:

    1. Look up the atomic masses of each element:

    * Potassium (K): 39.10 g/mol

    * Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol

    * Carbon (C): 12.01 g/mol

    * Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol

    2. Multiply the atomic mass of each element by the number of atoms of that element in the molecule:

    * K: 39.10 g/mol * 1 = 39.10 g/mol

    * H: 1.01 g/mol * 5 = 5.05 g/mol

    * C: 12.01 g/mol * 8 = 96.08 g/mol

    * O: 16.00 g/mol * 4 = 64.00 g/mol

    3. Add up the masses of all the elements:

    39.10 g/mol + 5.05 g/mol + 96.08 g/mol + 64.00 g/mol = 204.23 g/mol

    Therefore, the molar mass of KHC8H4O4 is approximately 204.23 g/mol.
