Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf 254.679 \ g/mol }}

Step-by-step explanation:

The molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of particles in a substance. We can calculate using values on the Periodic Table.

First, identify the elements in the compound: SeOBr₂.

  • Selenium (Se), Oxygen (O), and Bromine (Br)

Use the Periodic Table to find the molar masses.

  • Se: 78.97 g/mol
  • O: 15.999 g/mol
  • Br: 79.90 g/mol

Notice the formula has a subscript of 2 after bromine. This means there are 2 moles of bromine in 1 mole of SeOBr₂.

To calculate the molar masses, multiply bromine's molar mass by 2, then add selenium and oxygen.


2(79.90 \ g/mol) + 15.999 \ g/mol + 78.97 \ g/mol \\159.80 \ g/mol + 15.999 \ g/mol + 78.97 \ g/mol \\254.679 \ g/mol

The molar mass of SeOBr₂ is 254.679 grams per mole.
