Molar mass of SiCl4
The molar mass of SiCl4 (silicon tetrachloride) is 169.9 g/mol.
To find the molar mass of SiCl4, you need to calculate the sum of the atomic masses of each element in the compound.
The atomic mass for silicon (Si) is 28.0855 g/mol, and the atomic mass for chlorine (Cl) is 35.453 g/mol.
Since there are 4 chlorine atoms in SiCl4, you need to multiply the atomic mass of chlorine by 4.
Molar mass of SiCl4 = (Atomic mass of silicon) + (Atomic mass of chlorine x 4)
= (28.0855 g/mol) + (35.453 g/mol x 4)
= 28.0855 g/mol + 141.812 g/mol
= 169.8975 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of SiCl4 is approximately 169.8975 g/mol.
