To find the mass of a mole of an element, one looks up the
Cu _g/mol Cl _g/mol H _g/mol
O _g/mol H2O _g/mol

Interpretation:
The molar masses of Cu, Cl, H, O, and H2O are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The molar mass of a substance is equal to the mass of one mole of that substance. One mole of a substance contains 6.02×1023 particles. The substance can be an atom, molecule or ion. The magnitude of molar mass is the same as the magnitude of atomic mass, molecular mass, and formula mass. The only difference between the molar mass and three other masses is that the molar mass is represented with a gram per mole unit.
Answer to Problem 1ASA
The molar masses of Cu, Cl, H, O, and H2O are 63.55 g/mol, 35.45 g/mol, 1.008 g/mol, 16.00 g/mol, and 18.016 g/mol respectively.
Explanation of Solution
The molar mass of a substance has the same numerical value as its atomic or molecular but different unit. The molar mass is expressed in g/mol.
The atomic mass of copper (Cu) is 63.55 amu. Therefore, the molar mass of copper is 63.55 g/mol.
The atomic mass of chlorine (Cl) is 35.45 amu. Therefore, the molar mass of chlorine is 35.45 g/mol.
The atomic mass of hydrogen (H) is 1.008 amu. Therefore, the molar mass of hydrogen is 1.008 g/mol.
The atomic mass of oxygen (O) is 16.00 amu. Therefore, the molar mass of oxygen is 16.00 g/mol.
The molar mass of H2O is the sum of molar masses of each atom present in it. Therefore, the molar mass of H2O is calculated by the formula as shown below.
Molar mass of H2O=2×Molar mass of H+Molar mass of O
Substitute the values of molar masses of H and O in the above expression.
Molar mass of H2O=2×1.008 g/mol+16.00 g/mol=2.016 g/mol+16.00 g/mol=18.016 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of H2O is 18.016 g/mol.
The molar masses of Cu, Cl, H, O, and H2O are calculated as 63.55 g/mol, 35.45 g/mol, 1.008 g/mol, 16.00 g/mol, and 18.016 g/mol respectively.
