The molar mass of ammonia (NH3) can be calculated using the atomic masses of its three constituent elements: nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H).

  1. Step 1: Find the atomic mass of each element. The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.01 g/mol, and the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.01 g/mol.
  2. Step 2: Multiply the atomic mass of each element by the number of atoms of that element in one molecule of ammonia. In ammonia, there is one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms. So, the molar mass of nitrogen is 14.01 g/mol x 1 = 14.01 g/mol. The molar mass of hydrogen is 1.01 g/mol x 3 = 3.03 g/mol.
  3. Step 3: Add the molar masses of nitrogen and hydrogen to find the molar mass of ammonia. The molar mass of ammonia is 14.01 g/mol + 3.03 g/mol = 17.04 g/mol.

So, the molar mass of ammonia is 17.04 g/mol.
