Computing Molar Mass of Cobalt(II) Hydroxide Step by Step

Molar Mass of Cobalt(II) Hydroxide: Step-by-Step Calculation

1. Identify Element Counts

Read Co(OH)₂ and list how many atoms of each element are present:

1 atom of Cobalt (Co)
2 atoms of Oxygen (O)
2 atoms of Hydrogen (H)

2. Determine Atomic Masses

Look up each element mass from the periodic table:

Cobalt (Co) ~= 58.933 g/mol
Oxygen (O) ~= 15.999 g/mol
Hydrogen (H) ~= 1.008 g/mol

3. Multiply Atomic Mass by Quantity

Multiply atom count by atomic mass for each element:

Cobalt (Co): 1 x 58.933 = 58.930 g/mol
Oxygen (O): 2 x 15.999 = 32.000 g/mol
Hydrogen (H): 2 x 1.008 = 2.020 g/mol

4. Sum Total Molar Mass

Add all contributions to get the final molar mass in g/mol.

Molar Mass = (1 x 58.933 + 2 x 15.999 + 2 x 1.008)

Molar Mass = 58.930 + 32.000 + 2.020

Molar Mass = 92.950 g/mol

Final rounded value shown on this page: 92.95 g/mol.
